Freetime Fun Book Anne Ingram & Peggy O'Donnell (Text) Illustrations by Shirley Peters, Mary Davy, Bob Graham, Noeline Kelly, and others; Cartoons by Mark David Dean, an imprint of Reed Children's Books / Books UK Limited, 1993 ISBN: 1 871612 17 9 Hardcover, large format, 144 pages, full colour throughout £11.99 original UK price Condition: Very Good / Near Fine This copy is in excellent, bright condition overall — clean, tight, and vibrant with no major flaws. The binding is solid, pages are crisp and unmarked (no writing, highlighting, or doodles on the interior pages except for the noted inscription). The illustrations remain vivid and the book has been well-cared for. Specific notes: Lightly bumped corners (very minor, typical shelf wear — hardly noticeable). Neat gift inscription on the front endpaper: "Rowena Shews 1994 from Jenny ball". This adds a lovely personal touch from the book's first ownership in 1994 but does not affect readability. No tears, creases, foxing, or significant rubbing to the illustrated boards. The yellow spine and covers with the colourful zigzag border remain bright. A beautiful example of this scarce-to-find-in-nice-condition 1990s British children's activity compendium.
