The Little Train

[GREENE, Graham] / CRAIGIE, Dorothy

[GREENE, Graham] The Little Train

Eyre & Spottiswode, 1946.

First edition. Original yellow pictorial cloth in grey-blue pictorial dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in colour by Dorothy Craigie. A near fine copy, with a gift inscription to the front pastedown and small marks to the hinges where the holding staples have rusted, in a near fine dustwrapper, which is crisp with only minor wear to the spine ends.

Greene's scarce first children's book, published anonymously for fear of damaging his reputation as a 'serious' novelist.
