A Child's Christmas in Wales

Norfolk: New Directions, (1954).

Price: $4,000.00

Softcover. Long galleys of the first separately printed edition (originally published in *Quite Early One Morning*). Five leaves, printed rectos only, and an unprinted cover sheet, all folded. Slight offsetting to the unprinted cover sheet, else fine. Accompanied by a first edition of the finished book as issued by New Directions, which is fine in near fine, slightly age-toned dustwrapper. Also accompanied by a fine copy of the New Directions edition of *Quite Early One Morning* (fine in fine, lightly rubbed dustwrapper with wraparound band promoting *A Child's Christmas in Wales*, an Advance Review Copy with slip laid in). A beloved little gem, this story of Christmas in Wales was recorded by Thomas, and became a Christmas classic, necessitating this separate edition. Ex-Ned Erbe, director of publicity for New Directions. Rare. One of two sets of which we are aware.
