About this Item

First edition first printing hardback. 128 pp. Illustrated by Robin Jacques.Slight foxing of extremities Near Very Good condition in Near Very Good unclipped dust jacket No inscriptions. I suspect this book has been used in a school as there some light brown stains where selotape has been removed which may once have secured a protective sleeve and there are signs of a removed label on the front end paper. No overt signs however.
