FARMER GILES OF HAM

First edition with these illustrations. Publisher's original black cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in in the Roger Garland illustrated dustwrapper. Richly illustrated in black and white throughout by Roger Garland. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth bright and fresh, with just a touch of rubbing at the extremities. The contents, with some toning and the occasional tiny spot to the closed text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased dustwrapper, which is faded to the red lettering on the spine and otherwise bright and without loss or tears. Not price clipped (£8.99 net to the lower front flap).

A newly illustrated edition of Tolkien's fairytale. Issued simultaneously in a paperback edition of 10,000 copies and this hardback edition of only 1,000 copies. (Hammond and Anderson A4f).
