Description
First edition, first printing. Published by Jonathan Cape in London, 1998. This is a near fine copy. The dust wrapper, frontally illustrated in the hand of the author, has some light crumpling at the top edge. There is some soiling to the rear panel, which is evident upon close inspection. It has not been price clipped, showing the original £14.99 price. The boards are tight and free from wear, looking presentable in the publisher’s brown wrap. The text blocks are bright and white throughout. This copy is free from inscriptions and is, overall, in near fine condition.
This is now one of Raymond Briggs’ iconic works having been very successfully animated for TV.
