First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Publisher's original grey cloth with brown titles to the spine, without the dustwrapper. Illustrated with nine full page drawings in black. A very good copy, the binding square an firm with bumping to the spine tips and corners, the cloth with a few marks and foxing spots. The contents, with the author's inscription on the front endpaper and some toning and foxing to the text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout.
Inscribed by W. E. Johns in black ink on the front endpaper "With the compliments of the author / W.E. Johns". Scarce thus. The second published Worrals story (although the third in book form), as the novel was first serialised in the Girl's Own Paper between October 1941 and September 1942. The book followed in October, just after the September publication of Worrals Flies Again.
