First edition, first printing of the multi-award winning author's first book. Publisher's original red paper-covered boards with black titles to the spine, in the Michael Foreman illustrated dustwrapper. A fine copy, the binding square and tight, the boards bright and fresh.

Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that remains without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£1.50 / 30s net to the lower front flap). Scarce.
