270pp. Decorated and pictorial cloth-covered boards, illustrated front and spine. Tissue-guarded plate frontispiece and numerous further illustrations and vignettes in text. (Boards a little worn and soiled at edges and joints, a few marks, prize presentation plate on front endpaper, indicating the book was awarded to M J Sketchley as a Term Prize in December 1916, a couple of small chips and spotting on pages, tissue-guard partially cracked along insert line). A lovely, vintage copy of this classic children's story - and rites of passage for all young readers.
