signed

A signed first edition of this gleefully malevolent plundering of traditional nursery rhymes, a 'wonderful addition to the literature of the absurd.'

First edition, first impression, inscribed by the author on the upper free endpaper, 'Sammy Love Roald Dahl'; 4to (255 x 20 mm0); illustrations by Sir Quentin Blake offsetting from Dahl's inscription of upper pastedown and jacket flap, otherwise internally bright and near-fine; publisher's boards, pictorial dust-jacket, just a hint of fading to the spine, otherwise a near-fine copy.
