My friend Jane had this book and I loved it, so I had to get a copy of my own, eventually I tracked it down at Abebooks, it is the 1964 edition.

ReplyDeleteGill the new edition not as good, you need the old one.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness this is awesome. How have I never seen this before!?!
ReplyDeleteIt does look fantastic, I 've never seen it before either although I do have Gerald Rose's "The Adventures of the Gingerbread Man", "Old Winkle and the Seagulls" "The Story of St Francis" and the very fabulous "Jabberwocky - a collection of illustrated Carroll Poems. :Smug ;-)
ReplyDeleteOld Winkle is a joy of a book!
ReplyDeleteJust came across this artist, love his work. I am using your photo of the book cover on my blog, The Art of Children's Picture Books, will link it back to you. Thanks!
