Limited First Edition SIGNED by Pogany on limitation page (one of 500 numbered copies). A true first edition/first printing with "latch" misspelled.

A highly collectable and desirable copy of a high point of 20th century children's illustrated books. Signed. First Edition. Cloth. Very Good. Illus. by Willy Pogany. Tall Octavo.
