With black and white line illustrations including a frontispiece by Thomas Henry throughout the book. ***Very good in red boards with black titles to the spine. Edges of boards slightly rubbed and faded. Boards lightly speckled and very slightly faded. Spine slightly faded. Top edge of text-block discoloured. Fore-edge of text-block has a couple of fox marks, very slightly bleeding into the page margins.

Light off-setting to front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns. Interior pages clean. Slight spine lean. Spine tight. ***In a very good original colour illustrated dustwrapper, which is rubbed, darkened and creased at the edges with tiny closed tears at the extremities.
