London, Heinemann, 1905, 8vo, pp. xii, 314; orig. blue-grey decorated cloth with a windmill off-centre; top edge gilt.
First edition with the Pennell illustrations. Edel A62a. Total edition of 2000 copies but only one thousand appeared in this first attractive binding; the remaining 1000 other copies were issued some ten years later in different, mostly greenish bindings.
No dustwrapper; christmas gift inscription, dated 1905, at inside front panel. Spine slightly darkened and rubbed at edges; inner front hinge cracked but holding; very mild foxing at the endpapers and the first two leaves. Scarce in this first binding, and much, much scarcer than the Boston 1905 edition by Houghton Mufflin (Edel A62b), and which only had 79 Pennell illustrations.
