London: Heinemann, (1973).

First edition, first printing

Guardian Children's Fiction Prize winner, Barbara Willard, employs her trademark fun, yet suspenseful style in this detailed historical tale set during Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee.

Three orphan sisters are featured as they look for their brother during all the various events including preparations, a parade, tea, and fireworks, in the Queen's Jubilee celebration day.

Illustrated with engagingly detailed scenes in color and in pen-and-ink by Hilary Abrahams.

Fine in green boards with color illustration to the front cover depicting a marching band, and with white titles to the spine; in a fine price-clipped dust jacket.

Quite unusual in such crisp condition in the first printing with a dust jacket!

A lovely copy of a beautifully illustrated children's collectible.
