Condition
- Book
- Good – A sound, complete paperback with tight binding and all pages present. The cover shows honest age and handling: a dark mark across the front cover, a small chip at the top left, and some wear to the spine and corners. Light spotting is seen on the rear cover.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.

- Illustrations by B.T.B. and Nicolas Bentley.
