1st Edition. Hardcover. First UK edition. 8vo. A fine copy in a near fine dustwrapper showing a few very small chips. Publisher's green and black decorated brown cloth. Sixteen colour plates plus two monochrome double page maps & illustrated endpapers, all by M V Wheelhouse. 10 pages of advertisements. Rare in dustwrapper. Very Nice Indeed.
A near fine copy in the original pictorial dustwrapper, near fine with only a few tiny chips. Binding exceptionally bright, the plates vivid and clean and advertisements intact.
This is the true first edition of Lucas’s much-loved Edwardian children’s tale of a holiday journey through England, enhanced by Wheelhouse’s charming illustrations. The original dustwrapper is exceptionally rare, and copies in this state are seldom encountered.
