What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper
The first edition of this very scarce work.
A charming 'novelty book' containing a tale by Enid Blyton, and six colourful scenes, being a family's home. Including paper dolls of the family, with slits in each scene in which to place the paper dolls, for the reader to 'play at home'.
Paper dolls included are three mothers, one father, one young son, two young daughters, and one baby. Lacking the dolls for the dog and cat, and the card on which the paper dolls were originally, and some of the decorative pieces.
Illustrated by Sabine Schweitzer.
