Toronto: McClelland & Stewart / M&S, 1990. Book. Illus. by Marion Stuck (dust jacket illustration). Good to Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Set in St. John's, Newfoundland, in 1967, this is the story of a nine-year-old boy "with a myth-making imagination," and his eccentric family. There seem to be three versions of this title: one with the major typographical error, one correcting that error (which was caught early in the game, making the corrected version by far the most common), and one missing an entire leaf. This is the first of those, containing the major error that was subsequently corrected. Pink cloth w/yellow spine lettering, 233 pages. Spotting to covers, light wear to corners/spine ends, thin wrinkle across top spine, dust/lightly soiled edges, small soil mark to right edge of front end paper, in dust jacket w/light wear to corners/spine ends, moderately sunned spine (common to this title), a little rubbing, a few impressions/thin scratches..
