JOAN IN FLOWERLAND

Early edition. Original orange paper-covered boards with red titles to the spine and upper board and a fairy motif in red to the upper board, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with sixteen colour plates and further black and white drawings by Margaret W. Tarrant throughout the text. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, with minor bumping to the spine tips and some marking to the head of the spine and the bottom edge of the upper board. The contents, with some spotting to the early pages, are otherwise clean and without stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the original dustwrapper that has some spotting along the very top edge and a closed tear to the lower front spine fold that has been repaired on the underside with a piece of tape. Not price-clipped (7/6 on the front flap).

A story about a little girl who meets a host of fairies and learns about all of the different ways that they use flowers, from hats to bedding.
