PONY BOY

First edition, first printing. Signed by the author. Original red cloth with gilt titles to the spine and upper board, in dustwrapper. Illustrated throughout with black and white line drawings by George Buday. A very good copy, the binding firm, the spine a little faded and the extremities slightly rubbed. The contents, with a small stain to the margin of the last few pages, are otherwise clean and without previous owners' stamps or inscriptions. Complete with the lightly rubbed, nicked and creased dustwrapper that has a few closed tears, and a chip with loss at the head of the faded spine. Not price clipped (8s. 6d. to the bottom of the front flap).

Inscribed by the author in black ink on the front free endpaper 'Your friend / Bill Naughton'. Uncommon in signed state, the author is best known for his 1966 novel (and 1963 play) 'Alfie', the basis of two major film adaptations. This children's adventure story is Naughton's second novel.
