The Tiger Who Came to Tea

Judith Kerr · Collins (London) · 1968

UK true first confirmed: William Collins, Sons & Co., London, 1968 — the census claim stands. This was Kerr's first book. A first American edition followed from Coward-McCann, New York, in 1968 per catalogue records; the Collins hardback has precedence and is the collected edition, and the US issue is not a co-precedent. The Collins paperback of 1969 and all later Picture Lions / HarperCollins issues are first-thus only, not printings of the first edition. English is the original language.
