Inside the pages are clean and bright. Has the remainder of a bookplate which has been removed on the inside front free endpaper, opposite the half-title page, but hard to spot. Has spotting to the endpapers. The illustrations really are excellent.

Cream cloth covered boards have green, brown and black decoration to the front and spine. Also in good condition - clean and smart. With some rubbing to the top of the front board, and just the odd faint mark. Slight rubbing also to corners and spine ends.
