Naughty Amelia Jane! by Enid Blyton (George Newnes Limited, 9th edition 1953), illustrated by Sylvia I. Venus. Originally published in 1939, this copy being a later 1953 printing. Hardback in price-clipped dustwrapper. 160pp including b/w illustrations. 8.25 x 5.5 inches approx. (207mm x 142mm). Dustwrapper rubbed and worn with some creasing, especially to spine ends and edges; rear panel marked and smudged with printer’s ink from another dustwrapper (presumably during production or whilst on the book shelf). Boards nice and clean, a touch knocked to lower corners; spine ends a little turned-in; endpapers foxed and marked, prize label to front free endpaper; pages a touch dusty in places, the occasional corner crease, but generally clean throughout. Nonetheless, remaining a nice, clean copy – attractive in its dustwrapper.
