U.S. FIRST EDITION • FIRST PRINTING [1968] FRANKLIN WATTS N.Y.

U.S. first edition printed in Great Britain.   

Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition.  Dust jacket shows some visible shelf wear; but is clean, bright and in tact.  Now housed in a new archival quality jacket protector. 

Book itself is excellent; clean unmarked pages that read like new.  Short gift inscription on front endpaper.


This hilarious retelling of the classic Russian tale about a farmer whose turnip is impossible to pull from the ground uses simple vocabulary and is ideal for reading aloud. Its cumulative theme will soon have young readers gleefully joining in, and Helen Oxenbury's wonderfully quirky illustrations will delight and fascinate all ages.
