First UK edition, first printing. Original pictorial boards. Issued without dustwrapper. Illustrated in colour by the author throughout. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with bumping and rubbing to the extremities, a few marks, and light fading to the red lettering on the spine. The contents, with a tiny previous owner's name to the front pastedown, a faint corner crease to the bottom of the front endpaper, and a few isolated foxing spots, are otherwise clean and bright throughout.
A classic picture book with a strong environmental message, 'The Lorax' was Dr. Seuss's favourite of his books and is the basis for several film, television and stage adaptations.
