First Book Club Edition. Hardcover. 159 pp. Published by The Children's Book Club, London (1962), by arrangement with Hodder & Stoughton. Copyright 1962 stated to title page verso. Beautifully illustrated with black-and-white drawings and an atmospheric frontispiece by Leslie Stead. The book is an exceptional, Fine copy—bound in light blue cloth that remains wonderfully fresh, clean, and tight all round, with unrubbed black lettering and no previous owner inscriptions or internal markings.
