(10 1/2 x 7 1/4). 40 pp. Limited Edition (First State). Book number 147 of 375 copies published. Signed by Valerie Haig-Brown at the conclusion of her Preface. A hand colored Kingfisher drawn by Jim Rimmer as frontispiece, tipped-in on the title page, signed and dated by him. Hand colored chapter headings by Jim Rimmer showing the five bird species encountered by Alison - the Dipper - Kingfisher - Heron - Mergansers and Osprey. Text illustrations showing Alison with the five birds. Included is the large folding prospectus laid-in plus the publisher’s reservation card. "Alison" was likely a composite of Haig-Brown’s two young daughters, Valerie and Mary. The story was originally penned by Roderick Haig-Brown in 1939-1940. "It is rather well worth writing about all Alison's birds," Haig-Brown wrote, and indeed it is. It’s a charming book for all ages. The book is bound in gray cloth with gilt titles on the spine and and a blind-stamped Osprey on the front cover. A nice book. Fine. Signed by Author.
