The copyright page states plainly 'First Edition, November, 1953' with no later printings indicated. Issued in illustrated card wrappers with a cover design featuring a knight and a troop of Scouts seated at a round table, drawn by David Beaken.
Originally priced at 1 shilling, as printed on the front cover. No dust jacket, as issued (self-wrappers).
Condition
- Book
- Good – a sound, complete copy in the original illustrated wrappers. Wear and soft creasing to the covers, with a small tear/chip at the top edge of the front cover. Internally clean with only light age toning.
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.
