A. A. Milne. Toad of Toad Hall: A Play from Kenneth Grahame's "The Wind in the Willows." London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1929. Hardcover with original dust jacket.

First edition, 1929. Original priced dust jacket present. Copyright page states "First Published in 1929."

A desirable early appearance of A. A. Milne's beloved theatrical adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's classic The Wind in the Willows. Bound in the publisher's original blue cloth, featuring a gilt toad vignette on the front board and gilt lettering to the spine. Retains the scarce original dust jacket, priced 5/- Net on the spine.

The volume presents very well, with clean blue cloth, sound binding, and attractive shelf presence. Interior pages are generally clean with light age toning and scattered foxing typical of the period. A blank preliminary leaf bears a small printer's mark ("a") near the lower margin. No significant ownership markings noted.

The original dust jacket is present and complete, showing expected age-related wear including edge wear, rubbing, and minor chipping at extremities. The rear panel advertisement for Kenneth Grahame's The Wind in the Willows remains intact and highly attractive.

An increasingly collectible title that combines the appeal of A. A. Milne, Kenneth Grahame, children's literature, and British theater history. A handsome example of a scarce early Methuen edition, especially desirable in its original dust jacket.

No bookplate, no ownership marks, no writing.
