That's the one. Either I forgot the exact price in 2017 or the price has been increased since. :D

This is something I missed out on a few years ago. One was for sale on eBay and I forgot to bid until it was too late. :-( It finally went for just £5.00! :roll:
'Oh voice of Spring of Youth
hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

I have to admit, even though it's a collector's item, I wouldn't go paying £45 for what's essentially a piece of cardboard with the same wording on it that's already in the older editions of the books. :P

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)

I used to have one but of course it got lost many moons ago - I still hope that I may buy a secondhand book some day out of which might fall some such treasure.
