A first edition, first printing published by Bles in 1950. Off-setting to the boards of the book to the front and rear panels. Browning and spotting to the spine (as is usually encountered). One small name to the front pastedown. Internally, the pages are very clean and unmarked. Rear hinge cracked. In a dust wrapper which has benefitted from professional restoration to the spine and corners and now present very well indeed. The first of the Narnia novels to be produced, but the second in the sequence. Includes wardrobes, Turkish Delight and a rather nasty witch.
