What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this work, in the publisher's original price unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated throughout with the 'Reversible Faces' of British painter, artist and illustrator Rex Whistler, killed in action during the Second World War. This work was published two years after his death.
Whistler's illustrations are accompanied by the humorous poetic verses of his younger brother, the poet and artist Laurence Whistler.
Most intriguing, however, is the printing of this work to be read both from front to back, and from left to right.

Dust wrapper back strip age toned, with losses to back strip head and tail, and another loss to tail of rear wrap. Small closed tear to centre of back strip. Internally, firmly bound.
