HARDBACK - A near very good book, bound in blue cloth. There is soiling to the front and rear boards, with light fraying to the spine tips. Internally, there is a contemparary inscription to the front paste-down. Signed by Enid Blyton on one of her official book-plates to the front end-paper. The inner pages are generally clean with the odd sporadic mark found throughout the text. The dust-wrapper is in good or slightly better condition, with loss to the spine tips, there is also a chip to the bottom centre of the front panel, with smaller chipping to the corners of the front and rear folds. Toning to the spine, but the red lettering is un-faded. Correctly priced at 5/-net. Both the front and rear flaps are the wider format, denoting the correct first edition status.

The first book in the Famous Five series, 'Five on a Treasure Island' introduces the adventures of Julian, Dick, Anne, George, and Timmy the dog.
