Illustrated with detailed ink drawings in the margins, black and white plates throughout, and has a colour frontispiece with a tissue guard. Head and heal are slightly bumped/rubbed and there is some minor wear to the corners.
This edition retains the inaccurate illustration on pages 65, 337 and 457 of a dung beetle pushing his load with his front legs rather than his back and on page 316 a horse is shown trying to climb an impossibly high bank.
Book went into nearly a 100 editions and was quickly translated into Afrikaans, Dutch, French, Xhosa and Zulu. Overall the binding and the book are in very good condition.
