1957-9 Two Signed 1st Editions / Wild Encounters & Wanderers of the Field by Eileen Soper / Delightful Wildlife Writing / Richly Illustrated

Here are two delightful nature writing titles by the wildlife illustrator Eileen Soper. Both are signed first editions, and one copy has a signed letter by the author to a reader tucked inside.

Wild Encounters 1957 and Wanderers of the Field 1959. Both are richly illustrated with pencil drawings. They are signed on the title pages. Pages are clean and tightly bound. Wanderers has some faint light brown staining to the fore-edge (see photos). It also has a pencil inscription on the front free endpaper.

In charming unclipped original dust wrappers with illustrations on the front and back. Again in good order, with some edge wear along the tops and the odd small nick to the spine ends and corners. The wrappers have now been protected for the future by the addition of removable plastic sleeves.

Your antique Eileen Soper nature set will be wrapped with care in tissue and ribbon* and sent well packaged. I am always happy to add a gift card with a message to the parcel.
