Tolkien wrote and illustrated this book of Mr. Bliss' adventures for his own children when they were young. Mr. Bliss's first outing in his new motor-car, shared with several friends, bears, dogs, and a donkey, though not the Girabbit, proves to be unconventional though not inexpensive. Pages slightly discolord, boards have a small bow, spine is excelent. DJ good condition with small tare on back bottom and nicked corners
