London: Methuen, 1956. Hardcover. Good/Dust Jacket Not Included. 8vo: 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Astrid Walford. Children's story of courage and determination that follows two Japanese boys who participate in the rebuilding needed after a disastrous tidal wave. First published in "Jack and Jill" magazine, 1947, then expanded for publication as a book. Winner of a 1948 Best Children's Book of the Year Award (Bank Street College of Education). Slim hardcover in illustrated boards. B&W illustrations. Condition is only Good, with several notable flaws. No dust jacket (not sure if it was issued with one). Boards a little bowed, darkened at the spine and worn along the edges. Endpapers browned. Two different previous owners have left their names, one by means of an ink stamp inside front cover, the other written on the ffep. Two leaves with corner creases, plus other dimples and signs of wear on the pages. Book remains a charming survivor, firmly bound and sensitively illustrated.
