Item description from seller

Publisher's original wire stitched colour illustrated card wrap covers (soft back). Landscape. 8½'' x 7¼''. The Perry Colour Books are amongst the most fascinating, yet obscure, of the Second World Wartime books produced for children. They were published by Powell Perry, whose family printing works were based in Putney, London. During the War, Powell Perry was based at the camouflage centre at Farnham Castle, Surrey and it was from here that he operated Perry Colour Books, persuading the camouflage artists to moonlight and illustrate these rather wonderful books. Written in limerick containing 12 pp with distinctive colour illustrations to every page. In Very Good condition, no dust wrapper as issued. Member of the P.B.F.A. CHILDREN'S & JUVENILE.
