The Hundred and One Dalmatians
Dodie Smith · William Heinemann (London) · 1956
The UK Heinemann 1956 edition is the true first. The first American edition (New York: The Viking Press, 1957) follows a year later and is separately collected: blue cloth, the same Grahame-Johnstone line illustrations and illustrated endpapers, with its own jacket. Both are collected; the Heinemann holds priority and the Viking is the American first only.
