I received a penguin classic childrens collectable copy of the book. While for some that may be disappointing I was delighted. While not expensive or rare it is a collectable item and very charming over all. I believe it may be slightly abriged but so far seems the same as the other copies I have read. It even has a stamp with a name and address inside which is a detail that I treasure in vintage books. Overall I'm very pleased...

I ordered what I was expecting to be an adult version of this book. However I got a Great Illustration version. Not at all what the photo showed or what I expected. I ordered four at the same price point however three were the regular version and this one was the kids version. I’ll make it work but disappointed.
