The first edition.

Arranged into sections, or "bumps", on nature, garden rubbish, beyond the unpleasaunce, and the wind-on-the-heath brother.
Written by Walter Carruthers Sellar and Robert Julian Yeatman, both British humourists who wrote for Punch, and are best known for their 1930 book '1066 and All That', a parody of historical works.
Illustrated by Stephen Dowling, a British newspaper comic artist.
In the original full cloth binding.
Externally, very smart with light rubbing to the extremities.
Internally, firmly bound.

Very Good Indeed
