Written by Alison Uttley.
Illustrated by William Townsend.
Stock no. 579996
Published by Faber & Faber.
1st
1932.
Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.
A collection of short stories of extraordinary charm, full of whimsical incident and diverting fancy. Attractive blue, pink and yellow pictorial cloth. Delightful colour and b/w illustrations. Two top corners of covers are bumped. Some bumping to base of spine, with a few small chips to cloth. Spine is a little darkened, but rest of covers are nice and bright. Foxing to endpapers, outer page edges and a few scattered throughout contents - but not very heavily. Contents are very good indeed - plates are beautifully bright. Pictorial wrapper is price-cut with some foxing; browned and grubby to spine with some wear. There are also a few small closed edge-tears. Chipping to top of wrapper spine with very minimal loss. A beautifully bright copy of this delightful book!
