London: J M Dent and Sons Ltd, 1964. A small animal has at some time been nibbling the spine of the book about a third of the way up on the left hand side, with the result that a piece about half an inch wide and an inch and a half long is missing from the spine strip and corresponding piece of dustwrapper.
