Published by MacMillan Press. 1st 2000. Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.

Enid Blyton's work is probably better known that any other chldren's author worldwide but there has been relatively little serious attention paid to her.

It also unlocks the secret mechanism by which she entrances so many young children. Black boards with gilt titles to spine. 266 pages. ISBN: 0333747186. SIGNED by author, with dedication to a previous owner. Marks and some browning to outer page edges. Bumping along cover edges and to corners/spine. Wrapper is edge-creased and faded to spine.
