London: Max Parrish, 1954

8vo, pp. 106. Original dark red boards, lettered in gilt to spine. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrated dustwrapper. Slightly cocked, but a near fine copy in a very good price-clipped dustwrapper, small closed tear to foot of spine, small scuff to front panel and with a little wear to spine ends.

First edition of the second Molesworth title.

Well-loved and well-read, the Molesworth books are difficult to find in collectable condition. This one isn't perfect -- chiz -- but is better than most.
