Rare limited edition of ''The House at Pooh Corner'' signed by both the author A.A. Milne and the illustrator Ernest H. Shepard, and housed in the original dust jacket. London: Methuen & Co, 1928, issued the same year as the first trade edition. Signed by both men in black fountain pen on the limitation page, where this copy is designated as 39 in the limited edition of only 350. Milne introduced the ever popular character of Tigger in this volume, based upon his son's stuffed tiger.
Bound in the publisher's cream and blue buckram boards, with title label to front cover. Hand-made paper with deckled edges, and illustrations throughout. Also with price of 42 net on spine of jacket. Some foxing to covers and toning to endpapers, else near fine. Jacket is lightly soiled with some chipping, overall very good. Book is consigned by the great-grandchild of the recipient, A. McArthur Morison, who lived near the area of 100 Acre Wood in East Sussex and knew Shepard as a result.
