2510. Blyton, Enid: Adventures of the Wishing-Chair

Published by Dean & son, London, 1982

1st thus, hardback. Both book and price clipped dust wrapper are in very good condition. The dust wrapper is a little rubbed at the edges with a couple of chips lost at the front bottom edge which someone has attempted to repair with tape. There are no previous owner names. Pictorial boards and endpapers, beautifully illustrated by Georgina Hargreaves in colour on nearly every page. One of Enid's most popular books, this larger, deluxe illustrated edition is quite scarce. The adventures really begin on the day Mollie and Peter go out to buy a present for their mother's birthday. They spot a pretty vase in the window of an antique shop but when they go in to buy it all sorts of strange things start to happen.

 

2373. Blyton, Enid: The Folk of the Faraway Tree

Published by Dean & son, London, 1983

1st thus, hardback. Both book and unclipped dust wrapper are in very good condition. The dust wrapper is only slightly rubbed at the edges with some sunning of the spine.

One of Enid's most popular books, this larger, de luxe illustrated edition is quite scarce. Back in the Faraway Tree once more, Joe, Beth and Frannie find themselves caught up in yet more adventures in the lands at the top of the Faraway Tree. And once again they are joined by their friends Moon-Face, Saucepan Man and Silky the Fairy.
