The Children's Book

£17.99

About this item

Olive Wellwood is a famous writer, interviewed with her children gathered at her knee. For each of them she writes a separate private book, bound in different colours and placed on a shelf. In their rambling house near Romney Marsh they play in a story-book world - but their lives, and those of their rich cousins, children of a city stockbroker, and their friends, the son and daughter of a curator at the new Victoria and Albert Museum, are already inscribed with mystery. Each family carries their own secrets.

The book and dust jacket are in excellent condition

.The book itself is very clean and tidy and includes the authors signature on the opening page. The top of the jacket is slightly creased where it has lent against something.
