London: Blackie & Son. [1934]. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Original orange cloth with titles in black to the spine and upper board and an illustration in black to the spine, in dustwrapper. With a black and white frontispiece illustration. A very near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth clean, with a slight bump to the foot of the spine. The contents, with a school award plate (dated 1934) to the front pastedown and a few tiny spots to the text block edges, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that has a very short closed tear to the top of the front spine fold, and shows a little dustiness. Clipped and repriced by the publisher to the front flap. An attractive example. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
