This story is a classic and I am so pleased you were able to obtain it for me. I was given my copy in 1957 and it became my favorite book for many years. I then read it to my children in the 1980's, who also loved it. I am sending this copy to my grandchildren in Canada and am delighted that this edition is exactly the same as the original with the same photos and text.
Thank you again.
