Description:
Kestrel Books, 1980. First edition, first printing. 8vo. Blue boards with gilt titles. Pictorial dustwrapper. A near fine/fine copy with clean boards. Internally clean with no inscriptions & no marks to textblock edges. The near fine dustwrapper is fresh clean. Tiny sliver of loss to the top of the front flap - hardly noticeable. None of the usual fading to lilac spine. Original price of £3.50net to front flap. A lovely clean copy of a uncommon title from a tiny publisher hence its relative scarcity. Princess Amy of Phantasmorania has a very special christening gift - Ordinariness. Unlike all her six immaculate raven haired sisters she has freckles and brown hair and enjoys to play outside rather than playing the Harp. When her parents try to arrange her marriage she runs off and becomes a kitchen maid; but there she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as her!
