THE LITTLE CAT THAT COULD NOT SLEEP

First edition with these illustrations, first printing. Publishers original illustrated paper covered boards, in matching dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in black and white and colour by Shirley Hughes. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, with a nick to the head of the spine and a light bump to the top corner of the upper board. The contents are clean throughout and free from inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the near fine dustwrapper, which is lightly creased and rubbed to the extremities. Clipped and re-priced by the publisher (£1.25 net to the front flap).

Originally published by John Crowther in 1941 with illustrations by Susanne Suba, this beautiful Shirley Hughes illustrated edition is scarce.
