Royal 8vo. Original white pictorial cloth blocked in orange, pink and dark blue to spine and upper board, grey endpapers; pp. [viii], 9-63; with 24 charming coloured plates; externally a remarkably fresh copy with a minor vertical shadow to fore-edge of lower cover, internally very good with just a little sporadic foxing and a neat contemporary inscription, dated 1921, to front free endpaper.
First edition thus. The combined edition of Josephine and her Dolls; Josephine's Happy Family and Josephine is Busy, full of exquisite images of Josephine and her dolls, characteristically, and idiosyncratically, observed from the vantage point of the skirting board.
