New Edition 1941. Preface by Enid Blyton. Signed by the author. Signed Wayside and Woodland books by Blyton are very scarce. Wonderful Provenance: Joy Clark, thence by descent. Joy Clark born 1937 grew up in Beaconsfield with her parents Isabella and Cecil Clark. The Clark's ran an ironmonger's shop in the town and Enid Blyton was a regular customer. For many years whenever one of her books was published, Blyton would kindly sign and give a book to Joy, who was a small child at the time. Book is very good and quite bright. Light edge rubbing. Contents good.
