Reviews
On Sep 14 2020, a reader said:
I had been searching everywhere for a particular edition of this book (Orange dust cover - published in 1974). I was excited to find it on Biblio. This edition has great sentimental value to me as it was the very first book I read all the way from start to finish in primary school in the mid-seventies. The story had me captivated the entire way. I loved it so much I read it numerous times there-after, also as an adult when I spotted that orange cover in the public library. There has been many publications of this book over the years but they didn't hold the fond memories as the one I loved. When it arrived in the post it was packed very securely. I wasn't expecting perfection as it is 46 years old, but oh my, I was absolutely floored by the exceptional condition it was in considering its age. Very minimal wear on the cover and the pages look like it's possibly never been read. Beautiful, beautiful condition. Thank you Biblio, I will treasure it always.
