Descripción

CONDITION: Good in Good jacket; no names or other marks, straight, tight, very clean, but top board shows moisture damage (fading) over half the top, not affecting plate or endpapers ; in crisp, jacket, faded but still blue, with darkened spine, corresponding moisture area evident, 1/2" and 3/4" tear to top of cut-out; 1/4" tear at spine top, and tiny chips at extrems; 0.95 on rear. Small hardback. Walter grows bored and sets out to see the world, which is not as carefree as he had supposed. Luckily, Rusty the Sheep Dog comes along. Very bright clear colours, almost like pochoir. The UK Brockhampton series began in 1949 with Emily the Goat. The McKay US reprints are not in the same order. Six Blackberry Farm books were published in this format with green boards in 1954, including Walter, and two sets of three titles with red boards in 1955, (dates, from library records in Worldcat , may have appeared on later printings) As of this writing, we have eleven in jacket, ask. ABE Heritage Seller since 1996; conservative AB condition grading. We ship all our books in cardboard protection. International shipping. /F. Stocks May, illustrator. N° de ref. del artículo 21018
