Sobre este item
London & Boston: George Allen & Unwin Ltd / Houghton Mifflin Company., [1973].. First Edition, Tenth Printing. Hardcover. Very Good in Dust Jacket. Tenth impression. Octavo, original tan boards titled in dark blue on spine, design of a dragon in dark blue on front panel. [79] pp. Decorative endpapers, frontispiece and one additional colour plate, black & white line drawings in the text. This edition was issued jointly under both the Allen & Unwin and Houghton Mifflin imprints, allowing copies to be sold by either company. Depending on the expected market, dustwrappers were printed with either 1) A price in British Pounds; 2) A price in US Dollars; or 3) No printed price. On this copy the lower corner of the front jacket flap has the price obscured by the removal of a price sticker leaving only the text "IN UK ONLY visible (it would have been priced at £1.25). A near-fine copy (one tiny mark to front panel) in a very good original pictorial dust jacket designed by Baynes, lightly browned and with a few small stains. An attractive copy.
¶ Tolkien's charming medieval fantasy novel of a farmer and the dragon Chrysophylax, with lovely illustrations by Pauline Baynes, the illustrator of C.S. Lewis' NARNIA tales.
