About This Item
First edition, first impression. Signed and inscribed by the author to half-title: 'Bryan, Love from Enid Blyton'. A rare inscribed example of the second book in the Five Find Outers series of children's mystery novels.
Original green cloth with lettering to spine and upper board in gilt. Very good indeed with some fading to spine and top edges of boards and spotting to endpapers.
The original and unclipped dust jacket has a little rubbing in places with a few tears and shallow chips to edges.
