NY, Simon and Schuster, (1950). A review copy of Thurber's "fairy tale for children and adults," with illustrations by Marc Simont. First issue with Simont's first name spelled "Mark" on the title page. A little fading to the board edges and a small spot on the front flyleaf; near fine in a very near fine dust jacket with just a touch of shelf wear. Laid in is the publisher's response card, a promotional photo of Thurber, and three photos (black and white) of illustrations from the book. One of Thurber's best-loved books, and seldom found in such attractive condition, let alone as an advance copy. [#027755] SOLD
