Johnson, Crockett: HAROLD AND THE PURPLE CRAYON Harper & Brothers 1955. 
Hardcover 16mo 6" - 7" tall Pages Unpaginated 1st Edition 1st Printing 
Illus. by:Crockett Johnson Cartoon Type I have been unable to confirm 
what edition this book is. The title page says 1955 and the publisher is 
consistent to a 'pre 1963 edition. There is no d. J. Many dealers In the 
juvenile field say that the edition can't be confirmed without the d. J. 
This has beige covers with white writing, not pictorial covers. I'm 
listing it as a first edition with reservations - I think it may have 
been a library binding of the first edition - but I can't confirm that. 
About the author: Johnson, Crockett 1906-1975 (Cartoonist) 99 works in 
343 publications in 18 languages. Harold goes for an adventurous walk in 
the moonlight with his purple crayon and has trouble finding his way
