About this copy
This is the first edition, first printing of this practical guide to traditional outdoor activities using natural materials - conkers, grass whistles, daisy chains, pooh-sticks, walnut boats, poppy dolls and more. The copyright page confirms this as the first publication of the work with no later reprint statements present. A hardcover with the original price-printed dust jacket (£16.99), which appears unclipped and in keeping with the book.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good – clean text block and boards with no significant wear noted in the photographs.

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.
