THE ADVENTURES OF BERT

First edition. Signed by the author and the illustrator. Original pictorial boards, in dustwrapper. Illustrated in colour by Raymond Briggs throughout. A fine copy, the binding square and firm, bright and fresh. The contents are clean throughout and without previous owners' marks. Complete with the fine original dustwrapper that is without fading, loss or tears. Not price-clipped (£9.99 to the front flap).

Signed by the author Allan Ahlberg in black ink and the illustrator Raymond Briggs in blue ink on the title page. Scarce thus. A meeting of two of the greats of children's picture books; Briggs was a multi-award winning illustrator known for works such as 'The Snowman', 'Fungus the Bogeyman' and 'Father Christmas', all of which have been adapted for television; Ahlberg has written many popular picture books, several illustrated by his wife Janet Ahlberg, such as 'Each Peach Pear Plum' and 'The Jolly Postman'.
