A completely charming book! Another library discard, with the plastic on the dust jacket and the sticker on the spine. The front page has been ripped out and DISCARD stamped on it. Around the middle of the book there is some separation of the pages from the spine, going sbout halfway down. This is an illustrated copy, with gorgeous black and white drawings, but the pages are stained, though there is no bending. A worthy addition to your library!
