Item 42(c)

Content Summary:

Inscribed: 'Dear Harry: In giving you this copy of Doreen I am also giving myself a great deal of pleasure, because this little book brings back to me so many happy recollections of 'Den', and the long hours which we spent together; for we designed the format of the book for the publishers. Although it is regarded by collectors as one of the minor Dennis items it is becoming increasingly difficult to find nice clean copies such as this. I do not know how many copies were published but 'Den' told me that the little book sold extremely well, and that the publisher George Robertson was extremely pleased with the artistic level of the production and particularly with the illustrations...Yours, Hal.'

Immediate source of acquisition:

The collection was purchased from Harry Chaplin in 1981.
