first edition Hardcover
1956 · Boston
by BUTTERWORTH, Oliver
Boston: Little, Brown, 1956. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Illustrated by Louis Darling. Fine in a very slightly spine-faded, near fine dustwrapper. Oft-reprinted, a beloved children's book about a New Hampshire boy whose hen hatches an enormous egg, with surprising results. Copies abound, but first editions are as scarce as hen's teeth.
