    A Squash and a Squeeze

    , ,
    A Squash and a Squeeze By Julia Donaldson First edition, first impression. The author's first book which, due to the infrequency of its appearance in commerce, is likely to have had a very limited print run. It also marks the first collaboration between the author and illustrator, whose partnership would later go on to create 'The Gruffalo', 'Stick Man', 'Zog' and 'Room on the Broom' among many others. Original pictorial boards with pictorial endpapers and paste-downs. Slight toning to edges and very minor instances of rubbing to corners, else a fine and sharp example, free from any names or inscriptions. No jacket as issued.
