(London: Geoffrey Bles 1952). First UK Edition. 8vo. Publisher's original light-blue boards in red pictorial dustwrapper illustrated by Pauline Baynes which is priced 10s 6d net to the inside flap (as called for). Map end-papers. A near fine copy (slightly dusty top-edge, the merest hint of foxing to the page block edges, very slight fading to the tip and tail of the spine). Boards exceptionally bright and clean. No inscriptions. Internally clean. The fragile VG+ dustwrapper is complete with a trace of fraying/wear to the head of the spine and a few, minor, unobtrusive, tiny, closed tears to the edges and the corners. Unusually, the fugitive red spine of the dustwrapper is much brighter than normally encountered with NO FADING. Endpapers, frontispiece and numerous full page black and white plates by Pauline Baynes. The third book in the Narnia series. A nice copy. NO RESTORATION OR TOUCHING-UP. NO PRICE-CLIPPING. Photographs/scans available upon request.
