DAHL, Roald (author). Quentin BLAKE (illustrator). Dirty Beasts. London: Jonathan Cape. 1984.
Slim 4to. Original laminated pictorial white boards; pp. [32]; illustrated throughout in colour; a remarkably fresh, clean copy, both externally and internally, priced £4.95 to lower cover, without ownership marks or inscriptions.
First edition illustrated thus, and many would say the best edition. This volume was first issued with drawings by Rosemary Fawcett, which were very unpopular with Roald Dahl. Quentin Blake was then commissioned to provide an alternative interpretation.
