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.
