This is an acceptable copy of an uncommon title, particularly in the English editions in dustwrapper. A true classic and WINNER of the Newbury Medal for 1962. An ex-library copy in a good clean dust wrapper with creasing and small loss to head and tail of spine and signs of removal of a classification label from the lower spine. The boards are crisp and clean and the text bright, internally a label has been removed from the front fep and there is a school library stamp to the title page the page edges are soiled and throughout the book there are small marks and spotting but a tight sound copy. Please contact me if you wish further details on condition or more images.
