London; Jonathan Cape. 1953. 8vo. Original white pictorial boards pictured in black line, in pictorial dustwrapper; pp. [iv], 5-190 + [i]; with line drawings throughout by Pat Marriott; a nice copy of a very elusive title; boards lightly rubbed with a few small spots, edges of book block foxed with sporadic internal spotting, largely confined to prelims, in a pleasing example of the vulnerable, unclipped dustwrapper (9s) which is toned and rubbed with some foxing. First edition of Joan Aiken's scarce first book, which is a fascinating collection of short stories for children.
