Uttley, Alison & Margaret Tempest (ill.) — Hare Joins the Home Guard

London, Collins,, 1942. 1st. Hardcover. Tempest, Margaret. First printing. 93 pp. numerous colour ills. pictorial endpapers, small squarish format (about 6X7 inches), original colour pictorial covers. Internally Nearly Fine with no owner's name, no tears, intact hinges, just some minor soiling to a few places. There is some edge-wear to the fragile paper-covered boards and moderate soiling to the front cover paste-down illustration. The most significant flaw is that the boards have quite a bit of wear, especially the spine, with some edge-wear and loss at the ends, particularly at the foot. A Fair copy overall of this fragile children's book. Good.
