Publisher: London: Hodder & Stoughton, 1949

Illustrator: Eileen A. Soper

Edition: 1st UK, 6th impression

Binding: Hardback

This attractive book is identical to the much scarcer 1942 first edition except for the updated dust jacket advertising further titles in the series which appeared between 1942 and 1949.  The book has a discreet gift inscription to the front paste down but is otherwise unmarked. The book opens quite tightly and crisply and there is no foxing; just a little dustiness to the text block edges. The contemporaneous jacket is very good with no losses except slight nibbling to some extremities.  The whole package presents very well and all in all a very attractive example of this treasured text.

Book Condition: Very good
