Inscribed, SIGNED and dated 1974 to the front endpaper by Evans. Dust jacket illustrated by David Gentleman.

These charming and folksy fictional stories are linked with continuing characters, namely Acky and Sarah Flatt, who live in a thatched roof cottage in a country village much like Suffolk in East Anglia. A significant country-life collectible and an important George Ewart Evans Book. Near fine in textured green boards with gilt embossed titles to the spine; in a very good dust jacket with light rub-wear to the flap and spine folds, a half-inch chip from the upper edge of the front pane, and a slightly sunned spine panel; original L1.90 net price still intact to the front inner flap. Well preserved and quite presentable. A lovely vintage edition, quite elusive SIGNED. Octavo; 120 pages; includes a Country language glossary.
