About This Item
London: Phillip Allan & Co. Ltd., (1928). A quarto, 109 pages, bound in original tan cloth with dark red spine and paper labels. Aside from a trace of wear to the corners and a worn spine label, this is a fine copy of the First Edition. Two extra paper labels are tipped-in so the worn one on the spine can be easily replaced. Literary quotes from many poets and authors face photographic images of nude children depicting the text. The marriage of text and photographs captures the playful wonder and innocence of youth in a manner that would not be socially acceptable today. Boards slightly bowed else an exceptional copy of a modern classic.
