LEWIS, C.S. — The Magician's Nephew

Pauline Baynes Near Fine Very Good 1st Edition The Bodley Head London Octavo. First edition, first impression complete in an unclipped dust wrapper. Green cloth, silver title to the spine. Bit of foxing to the endpapers and the edge of the page block. The interior is clean, with occasional foxing. A previous owner's label is affixed to the front free endpaper (ffep). The boards are very clean. The original dust jacket shows light foxing, mainly on the rear panel, with slight wear along the edges and very small tears at the top front edge. The spine is lightly tanned, with minor wear at the top. The last written and sixth (penultimately) published of the seven famous Narnia books. Beautifully and copiously (about 40 images) illustrated by Pauline Baynes, the artist who defined the Narnian look. This is the book that finally explains the incongruous lamppost from The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Overall, a highly presentable copy.
