This is the book I bought in a a 2nd hand shop the other day for $25.
Would need some help in dating this.
Unfortunately the very first page ( guessing the page that contains the date, copyright page ) is missing. Everything else in this book is intact, perfect tight binding still.
The hardcover is grey.
One page has sticky tape to mend a small tear, other than that , its a perfect book for its age.
It does look quite an old edition, possibly a 1st or 2nd edition.
Can somebody please help me identify its age. There is nothing in the book to indictate its age unfortunately.
Thanks.
1949
"... the set of works was first collected in 1949 as, The Complete Adventures of Snugglepot and Cuddlepie, with the cover declaring "Including Little Ragged Blossom and Little Obelia" " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snugglepot_and_Cuddlepie
Thank you for that info. Thought it was a little older.
