The Silent Playmate. A Collection of Doll Stories. Edited by Naomi Lewis, Pictures by Harold Jones.

First edition. 8vo. Original cloth, dust jacket. London, Victor Gollancz. 1979.

"The Silent Playmate is meant for doll-loving readers of all ages. In this fascinating collection are stories and poems of today and yesterday, new known and little-known, by authors as disparate as Katharine Mansfield and Charles Kingsley, Richard Hughes and Hans Andersen, E. Nesbit and Mao Tse Tung (whose ballad of love and parting is perhaps the most haunting item in the book)."

A near fine copy.
