About This Item
Collins, 1944. 1st Thus. VG. TEMPEST, Margaret. 3rd Impression. 14 x 17.5 cm pale red paper covered pictorial boards, with white titles to the front and spine. Brown line drawn endpapers 92pp (2), printed on glossy paper stock, 20 colour illustrations including decorative title page by Margaret Tempest. A very good book, clean with a little rubbing to the boards, spine tips and corners and small 1/2cm splits to the joints at the head and tail of the spine which is somewhat faded. Internally the book is very clean with no name, inscription or bookplate. All in all a very nice 3rd impression of this suitably patriotic, wartime 8th Little Grey Rabbit story. Rainford & Parris Books welcomes enquiries, so please do not hesitate to ask if you require further images or have any questions. All books are packaged with great care.
