About This Item
London: Cassell, 1939. First Edition. First UK Edition. Publisher's original paper-covered boards. Illustrations by Edward Ardizzone. Fifteen colour lithograph plates (of which one double-page) as called for. Foxing to the end-papers and nibbling at the head of the spine. The all-important very fragile spine of the book is PRESENT and is still ATTACHED although it is just starting to split at the base of the spine at the left hand side. A much nicer copy than normally seen which is in near fine condition with the Ardizzone illustrations in lovely, fine condition. These copies are scarce because Cassell (the publishers) were bombed in the London Blitz and unsold copies destroyed.
