FIVE GO OFF IN A CARAVAN

First edition, first printing. Original blue cloth with titles in black to the spine and upper board, in the illustrated dustwrapper. Illustrated endpapers. With a colour frontispiece and black and white illustrations throughout by Eileen Soper. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with pale mottling to the spine, a small mark to the lower board and minor bumping and rubbing at the extremities. The contents, with some light spotting to the prelims and closed text-block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and creased, price-clipped dustwrapper that has dust marks to the rear panel, a few marks to the spine and a number of short closed tears along the bottom edges, the longest of which measures 2cm. An attractive example, seldom encountered thus.

The fifth adeventure of The Famous Five. The children befriend a circus boy named Nobby and, whilst on a caravanning adventure, help him to foil the plans of his criminal clown uncle.
