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

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.

Re: Tales of Toyland First Edition with dust jacket.
I saw one of these - and was tempted - but I prefer the illustrations in the later editions, by Grace Lodge.
'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.'

Re: Tales of Toyland First Edition with dust jacket.
Thank you so much for letting me know. I was not aware of Grace Lodge's 1952 edition at all!
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.

Tales of Toyland ... Illustrated by Grace Lodge. With new illustrations
Enid Blyton
Sold by: The Loft Library
£10.00
Condition: Collectible - Acceptable - A well worn copy though pages are tight and largely unmarked (apart from some rubbing to 'invitation'page), dust jacket which has some damp staining on reverse, is uncut (price 6s net), title page and front pastedown has evidence of damp staining, back green board cover is slightly marked, no inscriptions, prompt first class dispatch from UK.
I will see if the actual book is better than the seller's description or not.
