Probably BSN is not the best place to ask, but I'll give it a try. It's one of the few English-speaking places I can get to, after all, and there are many native speakers\readers here. 
I want to buy this book for my daughter as a Xmas gift. She loves those Webber's songs, and it would be a great way to improve her language skills.
The thing is. I've never seen any of the editions IRL. Local stores only have local versions (which are TERRIBLY translated, by the way). I'm going to order from Amazon.
I was considering this one - a hardcover with illustrations from Axel Scheffler, 2013. There are also some versions with illustrations by Edward Gorey (are those reprints? original old editions?). Amazon has several reviews about the poor print\quality. From what I can see those reviews are not edition-specific, but they bother me anyway.
I need to find the best&prettiest edition for my girl.
Would welcome any info or suggestion!
Thanks.
