Bowdlerized edition; “Additional illustrations 1992 © Christopher Lofting”. The “additional illustrations” are confined to the opening page of each chapter, and feature small drawings of Gub-Gub, in the style seen on this cover.  Two illustrations were removed, with nothing inserted in their places.  The expunged interior illustration was “The Mexican Pantry Bandit - with Helper”; the color frontispiece, “King Guzzle the Second, The Picnic King,” was also removed, but for economic, not racial, reasons.
Back-cover blurb from M.F.K. Fisher.
