Stokes Company, NY , the 12th Printing stated in the book as printed June 15, 1923. Very rare is the inclusion of the original dust jacket , which has been covered in protective clear plastic. Published by Frederick A. Stokes Company, NY.The art on the book cover, DJ and color frontispiece are of "The Farewell Feast." This paste on image on the book cover front is in excellent condition, as is the entire hard cover aside from a little bubble on the upper front near the spine, minor bending of the ends of the spine and slightly bumped front corner; otherwise cover is like new condition. There is no fading on the cover despite my photos, it is bright and clean (old camera). The DJ has smudges and tears; corners and ends torn off. Inside there is a Christmas gift inscription written on the front endpapers. The endpapers front and back are of a beautiful design in dark purple and sea green. The fine frontispiece is tissue-covered and preceded by a b&w illustration "A little town called Puddleby-on-the-Marsh." This copy includes the introduction to the 10th printing by the author. The fascinating illustrations throughout the book are b&w by the author. Pages are in
