About this copy
This is the eighteenth book in the Famous Five series. The copyright page carries the 1960 copyright date for both text and illustrations, with no later reprint notice visible in this copy, though the specific printing cannot be confirmed with certainty from the pages photographed. The book is bound in the original red cloth boards with titles to the front board and spine, without a dust jacket.
The front board carries a handwritten name, 'Enid Blyton', in marker pen; this is a later addition to the book rather than a verified authorial signature, and is not being represented as such.
Condition
- Book
- Good – red cloth boards show rubbing and wear to the spine ends and corners, with scuffing and smudged marks to the lower front board alongside the handwritten name noted above. The text block is clean internally, with a crisp title page and clear illustrations throughout.
This is a pre-owned book, and minor age-related wear may be present beyond what is specifically mentioned. All readily visible defects have been described to the best of my ability. Please see photos, which form part of the description.
