Danny, the Champion of the World by Roald Dahl - 1975

First edition, first impression (Jonathan Cape, 1975). Signed, inscribed and dated by the author in the year following the book's publication. Dust jacket design and illustrations by Jill Bennett.
Publisher's original orange cloth with gilt lettering to spine. One small spot of foxing to fore-edge with a couple of knocks to bottom corner of boards. Contents nice and clean and free from names or inscriptions. The original price-clipped dust jacket has some rubbing to corners, which has caused slight lifting to laminate of rear flap corners; a touch of mild edge wear here and there, primarily to spine head; a little marginal spotting to rear flap; spine panel, which is often faded, is still beautifully bright and unfaded. An excellent, near fine example overall.
