CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG: THE MAGICAL CAR. Adventure Number 1.

First edition, first printing. Publisher's original pictorial boards, in the John Burningham illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated in colour and black and white throughout by John Burningham. A near fine copy, the binding firm, the spine just a touch rolled and with a little bumping to the extremities, the boards bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, which has two short closed tears at the head of the spine folds and just a little spotting to the underside of the rear panel. Not price-clipped (10s 6d net to the lower front flap).

The first of three individually published volumes in Ian Fleming's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang adventures. The basis for the Academy Award nominated film of the same name, for which Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay. [Gilbert A17a (1)]
