Bound in the original publishers red cloth with gilt pictorial detail to the front boards. The boards are in good overall condition, though there are several white pencil marks to the front cover, as shown in the image. Complete with the original unclipped pictorial dust jacket, which has some signs of wear, some light soiling and tears to the corners and to the head and tail of the spine. There are white pencil crayon marks to the dust jacket on both sides. Internally the contents are good. Lovely pictorial endpapers. Featuring numerous delightful illustrations.
 
Taken from the dust jacket: 'The Little Horse Bus places beyond doubt that Graham Greene and Dorothy Craigie are leading names in contemporary writing for young children. They clearly wrote and designed it page by page together.' Overall a lovely and highly collectable book.
