Puffin Story Book PS37. 1st edition, published 1947.
The South Country’s secrets are smugglers, wishing wells, Roman villas, and such queer things as a wall made of bullock horns; about the ‘Doormat’ of England, the ‘sea lane’, swan upping and more. A family of boys and girls returning from South Africa to see England for the first time, are the explorers and detectives, identifying places they had often seen in Daddy’s album of treasured snapshots of ‘home’.
The author of the Worzel Gummidge stories and her husband have written this story with such obvious enjoyment that they carry the reader along full pelt from start to finish. The pictures, of which we are particularly proud, have been done specially for this edition.
Condition grading: Good. Some stains and grubbiness to rear cover. Minor wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
