What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce, With Dustwrapper

A lovely copy of Mrs Henry de la Pasture's classic children's novel. Found in the original unclipped dust wrapper, with twelve illustrations by John Lawrence. Having plunged into riches, the Mr Chubb and his eleven children uproot themselves from the homely suburbs of London to the splendours of Finch Hall. A saga of comic episodes ensues, as de la Pasture gentle satirises Edwardian stately house life.

Condition

In the publisher's original yellow cloth binding, found in the unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, lovely. Lightly bumped to the tail of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are lightly age-toned but clean throughout.
