Hardback, 1940, first edition, published by Ward Lock & Co., London.
Light red cloth boards, pictorial front board. Some fading to spine though title still very visible. Boards are a bit scuffed and a little marked but have retained much of their colour. Signs of rubbing and shelf-wear. Corners bumped. Binding reasonably firm. Page edges browned and a little foxed, staining to lower edge. FFEP has been mostly removed. A little foxing to endpapers and occasional marks throughout but otherwise page surfaces are clean, with no underlining, marginalia, etc. See pictures for further information.
