Description
Dahl (Roald) Esio Trot, second printing, signed presentation inscription from the author "To celebrate the christening of Robert Anthony. Roald Dahl. 2nd Dec. 1990" to endpaper, illustrations by Quentin Blake, original boards, dust-jacket, price-clipped, light sunning to spine, spine tips and corners a little rubbed, 8vo, 1990.
⁂ Dahl's final book, rare signed. A printed note, loosely inserted along with a group of obituary notices and a baptism card, states that this book was inscribed by Dahl for a nurse treating him in hospital as a gift for a soon-to-be-christened family member. Dahl has supplied the date of the christening to the endpaper, he was to die on the 23rd November. This was likely therefore one of the last books inscribed by Dahl before his death.
