The first edition was published in 1933. Delightful illustrations (as always with Aldin) accompany Morton's humorous verses. Aldin was responsible for the coloured plates, the full-page line illustrations and all but nine of the smaller sketches (seven are by Trist and two by Sheringham). Heron, p.196 (recording the first edition).
