HENRIETTA'S MAGIC EGG by Hale, Kathleen - 1973

London: George Allen & Unwin, Ltd.. Good with no dust jacket. 1973. First Edition. Hardcover. No jacket as issued (8.5 x 11"). Good minus to good condition, ex-library book with no lib markings to outer cover (spine sticker seen in photo peeled right off, leaving no marks). Only library markings are a back pocket and a small stamp on one interior page. Tape marks inside both covers. First endpage has been excised and there is a name written on title page. Several interior pages have light soiling/spotting and several pages have some light wrinkling/creasing. Heavy board cover has light soiling/scuffing and some light scratch marks front & rear. Outer edges are not papered. Moderate edgewear, corner bumping, tears to upper spine, rubbing along spine, old Unwin price sticker on rear. Endpages are glued to cover and back endpaper is a little loose on one corner. Charming b/w & colour illustrations throughout. A good, solid copy of this scarce title, albeit with some moderate soiling and a few flaws. Even though Henrietta lived in her own Castle and had everything she could possibly want, she was still bored. When she finds what looks like a huge green egg, she decides she going to hatch it, but when she does, what comes out of the egg is the most astonishing thing of all! [295-osl]; 8vo .
