- 5***s (1615)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseBased on the photograph I was expecting the vintage version I grew up loving as a child. I was disappointed that it is a later reprint with different illustrations which I could have bought cheaper elsewhere. Quality is excellent, just not the nostalgic version I hoped to give as a gift.
