Item description

WORLD'S END WAS HOME by Nan Chauncy New York, New York: Franklin Watts, Inc., (1961). First U.S. edition, first printing. Illustrated by Shirley Hughes. Fine in blue linen with deep-blue titles embossed to the front cover and to the spine; in a very nearly fine dust jacket with a hint of rubbing to the spine ends and corner tips; original $2.95 price still intact to the front inner flap. 11-year-old orphan Dallie and Cobby and his family set sail for the spot in Tasmania which Cob's Dad calls World's End, "the very last postal address in all Australia." A pet wombat figures into the story! By the noted Tasmanian children's author. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS!
