Publication details: Faber and Faber,1956,
Rare Book
A somewhat disturbing cautionary tale, though ending happily with steak for the bloodhound and toy tin shrimps for the toy tin pilot, the tone complimented by Bawden's close-up, 'child's view', stridently coloured plates.
FIRST EDITION, with five linocut plates printed in four colours and six monochrome illustrations, title with rolling sixpence figure vignette, pp. 24, 8vo, publisher's illustrated boards, front board repeating cuckoo-clock linocut, rear board repeating title-page vignette, slight crack at upper hinge, dustjacket repeating cover design, with a few nicks at upper edge and backstrip foot, front panel with two small holes, backstrip with neat tape repair, very good
