The Story of the Holly and the Ivy

First USA edition, third printing.  64pp, with coloured line drawings in text.  Orange cloth-covered boards, with black decorations and black lettering to spine. Colour illustrated endpapers,  8vo.  Cloth is a little tired, gently rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends, a little faded along upper edge.  Gift inscription, dated 1965, inked on the half title page, perhaps a hint of page browning on first and last few leaves, else internally neat, clean and tight.  In its original worn and edge-rubbed dust wrapper, chipped and rubbed around corners and spine ends, some spotting and shelf wear, some small edge nicks. From the book blurb: "the ingredients are just right to make this lovely book a perfect Christmas confection for every little girl who loves dolls".
