(SHEPARD, Ernest H.) GRAHAME, Kenneth.
The Wind in the Willows.
First Shepard edition. Number 11 of 200 large-paper copies signed by both Kenneth Grahame and E. H. Shepard on the limitation leaf. It was through Milne's involvement with Toad of Toad Hall, the dramatic version of Wind in the Willows, that E. H. Shepard was first introduced to Kenneth Grahame. This serendipitous meeting lead to their partnership in producing a new edition illustrated by Shepard, still one of the most popular of all versions of The Wind in the Willows. Provenance: from the collection of Pat McInally.
Large octavo. Original green cloth backed grey boards, printed paper label to spine, edges untrimmed. With the dust jacket. Illustrated throughout by E. H. Shepard. A fine copy with uncut pages. In the cream dust jacket that is very lightly rubbed. The best copy we have seen.
