About this copy

This is the 1985 Book Club Associates edition, issued by arrangement with The Bodley Head Ltd. It is a revised edition of George Ordish's account of the living things in Bartons End, a Kentish farmhouse built in 1555. The original was first published in 1960. This is not a first edition.

Hardback with the original pink pictorial dust jacket, illustrated by Alison Claire Darke.

Condition

Book
Very Good – clean, tight binding; no visible inscriptions or marks in the photographed areas.
Dust jacket
Good – light creasing and minor surface marks on the rear panel. Spine and flaps appear intact in 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.
