Nessie the Mannerless Monster. Pictures by Gerald Rose.

Inscribed by the author: "For Mum & Dad with love from Ted April 27th 1964."

First edition. 8vo., original pictorial boards, dust jacket. London, Faber and Faber.

A lovely presentation copy, inscribed by the author to his parents, with a charming large drawing over the entire front free endpaper of the eponymous monster, showing the monster, a very different Nessie than Gerald rose’s, towering over buses, trucks, trees and people, incorporating the inscription “for Mum & dad with love from Ted April 27th 1964."

The uncllpped dust jacket is very slightly rubbed, and there a few very small and light stains to the text, but a very good copy indeed. Sagar and Tabor A8a.
