Scarce 1936 First Edition of The Donkey Goes Visiting by Patricia Lynch, published by E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc. and illustrated by George Altendorf.

This is the American edition, titled The Donkey Goes Visiting. Other editions are commonly found under the longer title The Turf-Cutter’s Donkey Goes Visiting, but this copy is clearly titled The Donkey Goes Visiting on both the book and original dust jacket.

Copyright page states:

Copyright 1936

E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc.

FIRST EDITION

Orange cloth hardcover with illustrated front cover and the original illustrated dust jacket. Includes color and black-and-white illustrations by George Altendorf.

There is a vintage previous-owner bookplate inside the front cover.

The book itself remains attractive for its age. The original dust jacket is present but is in poor/fair condition, with substantial chipping, tears, losses, edge wear and separation/damage along the spine area. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition.

A scarce early Patricia Lynch children’s book, particularly desirable as the 1936 U.S. First Edition with its original dust jacket still present.
