New York: Grosset & Dunlap, 1929. Hardcover. Very Good/very good. C. 1916, but list of Sleepy-Time Tales ends with The Tale of Nimble Deer (1922) and on the rear flap Cuffy Bear's Holidays (published 1929 we believe), so we're thinking 1929 for this especially with 1929 gift inscription on pastedown. Square 8vo, pictorial cloth in green color pictorial dust jacket. Book very good as is the jacket: light scuffing and discoloration, light soil and a few abrasions to rear panel. 112 pp, illustrated with duo-tone pictures.
