I grew up with all the amazing stories by by the talented Dare Wright. Having five girls in the family we went through more than just one copy of all her charming books. This is a true First Edition of " The Doll and the Kitten " published in 1960 by the Doubleday & Company Inc. Garden City , New York. Now let me let you in on one main fact here.All Edith and the Bear books are Stated First Editions in the books. Those that are not stated First Editions are not, but were published in the year presented. Over the past five years I have seen way to many being sold as Firsts,that are not. So the other day I did a search and counted 63 being sold on line claiming to be Firsts but are not. That being said....... This is a very fine copy! The dusk jacket is bright and excellent condition with just one small taped area. The binding is tight,pages are crisp,clean and without any damage at all. There is an inscription from 1962 as shown in photos. Enjoy the memories!
