Tales of Toyland First Edition with dust jacket.

Post by sixret »

£25.20. This book is fairly hard to find in dust jacket first edition. This is your chance if you are really a collector.

Or

£36.00 in better dust jacket.

These two are the best offer so far throughout the online markets. The price for first edition with dust jacket is usually higher than £100 or more.

I saw one of these - and was tempted - but I prefer the illustrations in the later editions, by Grace Lodge. 8)
'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.'

(E. Blyton, Sunday Times, 1951)

Thank you so much for letting me know. I was not aware of Grace Lodge's 1952 edition at all! :oops:

So after reading your comment, I quickly looked at The Cave and I have been hooked! Very beautiful wrap around. So I've just bought it not too long ago for £10 on Amazon. Thank you so much.
