The Hague, G. G. Van Goor Zonen, 1947. Hardback. The third book of the Danny series by Leonard Roggeveen, translated by Mrs. William Pinchin. A scarce illustrated work in the original pictorial paper boards.

This is the third book of his Danny series, in which Danny looks after the house while his wife is away. Illustrated throughout with humourous black-and-white illustrations by the author, and translated into English by Mrs. William Pinchin. Undated, dated through copies held at Trinity College Dublin Library. In the original pictorial paper boards. Externally smart, though a little sunned, more so to the spine. Light shelf wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean, except for a mark to page 7, and offsetting to the first and last couple of pages. Very Good .
