Pictorial endpapers, 183 (1)pp,with black and white illustrations by A H Watson though out. Together with unclipped dust jacket priced at 8s 6d net. A very good book, with a little fading to the spine tips extending to 0.5 cm and at the corners matching places where there is loss to the jacket. Internally, there is no name, inscription or bookplate but there is some spotting to the edge of the text block that occasionally extends onto the margins. The dust jacket which is now protected in a removable clear jacket (not shown in our images) is a little dust stained with tears to the tips of the joints of between 0.5 and 1.7 cm and loss to the head of the spine extending to 0.7 cm and the corners. All in all a very nice 1st edition copy of this children's fantasy. 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.
