The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If you need to see photos of the actual book or have questions about the condition, please call or email.
From the dust jacket:
In exquisite full-color illustrations, John S. Goodall, the creator of two greatly loved books -The Adventures of Paddy Pork and The Ballooning Adventures of Paddy Pork-portrays the exciting events of young Shrewbettina's birthday. After an unfortunate beginning when a thief snatches Shrewbettina's purse, the special day ends gloriously with a gala birthday party filled with feasting, dancing, and merriment. Without words, and with the ingenious use of half-pages to carry the action forward, Mr. Goodall has fashioned a beguiling book that joyously reflects the English countryside and that will charm both young and old.
