Walt Disney's Story of The Reluctant Dragon

New York: Garden City Publishing Company, 1941. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Thin 4to. Illustrated in color and black and white throughout. Publisher's cloth spine, pictorial boards, pictorial endpapers. Based on a story from Kenneth Grahame's 'Dream Days'. There are light traces of wear to the spine and to the corners, a neat inscription from 1944 on the half title, else this is a near fine copy. The dustwrapper is not clipped. It is soiled; it is chipped at the spine tips with a closed tear tear on the spine and another along the top margin, else it is in very good condition. (The Brodart protective sleeve has been (truncated) colored to match the yellow of the wrapper to give a nice appearance without damage to the wrapper.) Scarce Disney item, and more so in dustwrapper. (Inventory #: 19468)
