Illustrated by Michael Tree, a British artist and illustrator. In the original green cloth binding. Externally, very smart with minor wear to the extremities. Original unclipped dust wrapper is sound with light wear to the extremities and marks or spots to the boards. The odd small closed tear to the panel edges with a 7" closed tear to the rear panel.
