What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition copy of this hilarious guide for children and young adults going through life in the twentieth century, illustrated by Ronald Searle.
Rascal Nigel Molesworth is Geoffrey Willans' most well known character, and with his very original outrageous spelling, he's the supposed author of this volume full of advice on life in St. Custard's prep school. This book is mainly for children and young adults, but can also be greatly appreciated by any adult thanks to Willans' humorous writing style, alongside Searle's captivating illustrations.
In the publisher's original black cloth binding, with titles stamped in gilt to spine, with price clipped dustwrapper.
