Second impression of the first edition. Inscribed by the author. Publisher's original blue cloth with gilt titles to the spine. In dustwrapper. A near fine copy, the binding square and tight. The contents, which are slightly toned to the margins, are otherwise clean throughout and free of previous owners' inscriptions and stamps. In the better than very good dustwrapper, which has the slightest rubbing to the spine tips. Not price-clipped (£10.99 to the lower front flap).
A superb association copy inscribed by the author to the poet Mairi Macinnes in blue ink on the front free endpaper, reading "Dear Mairi / this might find a / small place in a guest / bedroom for visiting / grandchildren? / Much love / Nina". From the beloved and prolific author of the award winning children's novels Carrie's War and The Peppermint Pig.
