Color Illustrations; Children's Book. Spine ends & corners of book covers have a bit of light bumping and rubbing. White / off white cloth covered boards with illustrations to front and rear covers. White covers of book have some lightly ground-in finger dirt and several small brownish spots of discoloration (mostly to rear cover). Bottom corner of rear cover has a small amount of ink scribbles which are not erasable (and generally fairly light, but they are noticeable). Text pages clean & bright. Endpapers are a loud, rather obnoxious orange color. Front pastedown has the remnants of a price sticker. Overall, a very good copy. A series of inter-related nonsense verses by Edward Lear with illustrations by Dale Maxey. --Calico Pie, The little Birds fly Down to the calico tree, Their wings were blue, And they sang -Tilly-loo- Till away they flew, And they never came back to me! They never came back! They never came back! They never came back to me!--.
