ONE OF 100 LARGE PAPER COPIES
When We Were Very Young
Methuen, 1924.
First edition, large paper issue limited to 100 copies on hand made paper signed by both author and illustrator of which this is number 12. Publisher's cloth backed boards with title label to the spine in light blue dustwrapper lettered in dark blue. Illustrated throughout in line by E.H. Shepard. A fine copy in a fine dustwrapper, which shows just a hint of general dustiness, but is crisp and bright and exceptionally shows no toning to the spine. A superb copy, rarely encountered in the large paper format.
This book sees the introduction of Christopher Robin and allows us our first glimpse of the bear that is to become Winnie the Pooh in the poem "Teddy Bear".
