A first edition, first printing published by Heinemann in 1956. A very good book without inscriptions – some spotting to the spine – scattered foxing to the prelims. In a very good (or better) unclipped and overlay priced wrapper which is incredibly bright and not heavily browned on the spine. Small stain to the spine. Some rubbing to the corners. A lovely copy.
A classic children’s novel by Dodie Smith, later adapted into a highly successful animated film by Disney. The story revolves around Pongo and Missis, two dalmatians who embark on a mission to rescue their puppies, stolen by the villainous Cruella de Vil, who plans to turn them into fur coats. With the help of numerous other animals, they must outsmart Cruella and her henchmen to save their beloved offspring. The novel, known for its delightful characters and adventurous plot, was both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, and the Disney adaptation further solidified its status as a beloved classic.
