A propos de cet article

Rare, Fine copy of the First Edition of the last book published by this famous prolific author of children's books and one unusually including her married name of Norris. Clean and bright green cloth with blind-stamped and gilt designs to upper cover and spine. Hardly any bumping to corners and minuscule wear to spine top and tail. Firm, square binding and nothing loose or shaken. Clean end-papers with no inscription. Highly unusual immaculate clean condition throughout. 128 pages of easy to read, larger than normal print with symmetrically designed chapter heads and fine engraved vignettes at chapter ends.
