London: Herbert Jenkins, 1964. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition.. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. An 18-year-old girl who is facing a fairy-tale future, and whose mother made something of a mess of her own life, decides that she wants "time for dreaming -- a chance to explore the byways before the golden gates of happy-ever-after-land" close behind her (which means that she ends up in a castle, is attracted to a man she should steer clear of, deals with a few unusual children, and is possessed of a secret she can't tell anyone). Red cloth w/white spine lettering/design, Jenkins device blind-stamped to back cover, 172 pages + three pages of advertisements for other Jenkins titles. A scarce title in hardcover first edition and boasting a dust jacket.

Dust jacket now in protective mylar sleeve. A presentable copy of an uncommon title..
