First edition, first printing. Original orange cloth with silver titles to the spine, in the George Adamson illustrated dustwrapper. Endpapers illustrated with maps. A near fine copy, the binding firm, the spine with a very slight lean. The contents, with a couple of faint spots to the bottom of the text block edge and light offsetting to the half-title, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the original lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper which has a short closed tear to the top of the front panel. Not price clipped (12s. 6d. to the bottom of the front flap). An attractive example.
The sequel to Garner's acclaimed children's fantasy novel 'The Weirdstone of Brisingamen'.
