With Illustrations by the Author

This antique novel is in fairly good condition - the cover has wear, rubbing and bumped corners.
Inside the pastedowns have split. There are initials written on the back inside front cover.
The front flysheets have some indents that look like creases by the top spine, due to a loose binding thread.
The pages are unevenly bound, causing a little tattiness along the edges, esp. pages 285-7.
There are some light foxing/marks in some of the margins.

19.5cm x 15cm x 3.5cm approx.
