Notes:

"This is a Borzoi Book published by Alfred A. Knopf, Inc."

"In 1898 the famous English novelist, H. G. Wells, wrote - and illustrated - this charming story for his own amusement, but it became an immediate success upon publication decades later and went through many different editions on both sides of the Atlantic. Now, for the first time in thirty years, 'The Adventures of Tommy' is back in print - to amuse today's children, just as it did their parents."--Dust jacket.
