Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first US trade edition, first printing of this work.
In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.
Illustrated with a colour frontispiece and three further colour plates by Arthur Rackham, alongside further vignette illustrations. Collated, complete.
A charmingly whimsical and satirical fantasy in which the world’s inhabitants are all anthropomorphic dogs - walking upright, speaking, socializing - all the while retaining canine instincts. The novel follows a contented bachelor living with his butler, whose life of tranquil routine is upended when he adopts three abandoned puppies, who are essentially canine children.
