THE BEST OF GIRL

Published by Prion Books. 1st. 2006

Nearly fine condition. For girls growing up in 1950s Britain, Girl, companion to the legendary Eagle, was essential reading. The Best of Girl is a fascinating window onto this hilariously wholesome bygone age of fine upstanding virtue for those too young to remember it, and a completely compulsive nostalgia trip for those who aren't. Very Large format. Pictorial glazed boards. Colour pictorial endpapers. 144 pages.
