This first edition presents Hank Ketcham's iconic comic character, Dennis the Menace, capturing the mischievous spirit that has charmed readers for decades. First published in 1954 by Pitman Press, this volume marks an important early appearance in the character's burgeoning popularity.

The narrative style is perfectly complemented by Ketcham's distinctive illustrations.
