St Marys Books

Sixth Edition, published the same year as the first edition. Beautifully bound in blue cloth with a gilt-ruled border and pictorial to the front, gilt pictorial to the rear, and gilt titles to the spine. The boards are in good condition despite a little scuffing to the front and fraying to the top and base of the spine, corners are a little bumped. This does come with the original dust jacket although this is worn with tape along the fore-edge of the front cover, the spine is missing. Internally the binding is a little weak with cracking to the hinges. The endpapers are a little toned with the previous owner's neat inscription to the front free endpaper. The rest of the pages are clean with the beautiful illustrations of E.H. Shepard throughout. pp. x + 100. A charming copy of a children's classic.
