What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
A scarce number of 'Bookano Stories', this being Number 9.
Illustrated with a colour frontispiece, five striking colourful pop-ups, and in-text illustrations throughout. One of the figures to the second pop-up is working loose, all other pop-ups are complete and in full working order.
Collated, complete.
A charming mid-twentieth-century collection of tales for children, including 'The Tasks of Hercules', 'The Signing of the Magna Charter', 'The Mole's Fortress' and more.
Edited by S. Louis Giraud.
The Bookano Stories began publication towards the end of the 1920s, and were the first 'automatic' books.

Rubbing has resulted in a small amount of loss of paper. Hinges are strained. Internally, binding is strained in places. Pages are bright with the occasional spot and handling marks.
