Non-english version.
I have just found out that it is translated and shortened text from the 1930 french publication.
It was published in 1954
The illustrations are not metalcut (or woodcut). I must have confused the illustrations type with the illustrations from "
Two years vacation", another treasured book.
The illustrations were made by
Zdeněk Michael František Burian
You can see some examples of his work here:
