HEATHER HILL

First edition, first printing. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout in black and white by David Williams. A very good or better copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth with localised fading to the foot of the spine and the top edge of the upper board. The contents are clean throughout and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed and creased original dustwrapper which has a chip to the foot of the spine and a number of short closed tears to the edges which have been repaired to the underside with tiny pieces of tape. Not price clipped (8/6 to the front flap). Scarce in the dustwrapper.

A children's book about the woodland creatures that inhabit the idyllic Heather Hill. Elleston Trevor was a prolific writer who worked across several genres under many pen-names, though he is perhaps best know for his Cold War thrillers featuring the secret agent Quiller.
