MILNE. A. A. ; SHEPARD. ERNEST. H. Illustrates. — WINNIE THE POOH.
Methuen Children's Books. London. 1973 FIRST COLOUR EDITION. First impression. Large 8vo (9.5 x 6.4 inches). Colour map endapers and fully illustrated in colour throughout. A little rubbing to the edges of the book but overall a bright clean copy in publishers blue cloth with gilt stamped illustration of Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin on front board. Spine lettered in gilt. In the original full colour dustwrapper has just a hint of fading to the spine but is generally bright and clean and with the original price still intact on the front inner flap. Overall very good. A lovely copy of this classic tale with the beautiful colour illustrations. Originally published in 1926, uncoloured, Shepard coloured his own line illustrations for this edition.
