This copy inscribed and signed by Eloise Jarvis McGraw on the title page: “with trefoils and good wishes, Eloise McGraw 1993” (former owner’s name covered for privacy). The original copyright of this book was in 1963 by Reilly & Lee, but this is a a ca. 1989 Books of Wonder edition. BOW renewed the copyright in 1989, and this book has a plain cloth cover and the BOW title page, with the 1963 copyright page and a full number line. The Book Collector’s Guide pegs this as the 2nd edition, 1st printing.( An even later edition has a 1991 copyright and added ISBN numbers).

Book and dust jacket are in near fine condition, though there is slight scratching on book cover and spine. The endpapers and interior are beautiful and clean, as is the jacket.
