SIGNED FIRST EDITION OF THE MAGIC FARAWAY TREE
The Magic Faraway Tree - Signed
Newnes, 1943.
First edition. 8vo. Red cloth lettered in gilt in the wraparound pictorial dustwrapper by Dorothy Wheeler. Inscribed by Blyton on the front free endpaper, "Pamela - love from Enid Blyton." Illustrated throughout in line by Wheeler. A very good copy of the book, which is tight and clean with a little fading to the top section. The rare original dustwrapper is in good condition, with some creasing and strengthening.
One of the most popular children's stories of the past century, frequently listed as a childhood favourite. This book was published in the middle of the war and subject to wartime paper restrictions, thus it is a notoriously fragile production. This is a rare book and most uncommon signed.
"In the middle of the Enchanted Wood stands the great Faraway Tree, at the top of which come many queer lands..." (blurb)
