The book is tightly bound with secure hinges and no noticeable lean to the spine. Internally, the pages remain largely bright, though there is some notable, scattered foxing that predominantly affects the preliminary pages, the title page, and the text block edges. The original dust jacket is unclipped, retaining the original '2\/6 net' price on the front flap. The wrapper exhibits expected shelf-wear for a mid-century children's book, including a small section of loss at the head of the spine, some minor chipping and creasing along the top edges, and light rubbing with mild discolouration to the blue rear panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/strong\u003e: An appealing mid-century printing of Susan Jolly's children's tale, issued as part of 'The Anytime Series'. While the book is undated, the production style and the retained half-crown price firmly place this publication in the 1950s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe volume is charmingly enhanced by R. W. McIntyre's illustrations, featuring a vibrant full-colour frontispiece and dynamic line drawings throughout the text. Original dust jackets from this specific series are highly prone to heavy wear and loss, making the survival of this intact wrapper a lovely attribute. The title remains a rather uncommon find on the current open market, particularly when retaining its original jacket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eA delightful post-war children's tale following the adventures of a wooden doll named Jemima Caroline as she explores the enchanting woods, meeting various woodland creatures along the way. Accompanied by striking colour and line illustrations, this instalment of Blackie's 'Anytime Series' captures the quintessential, innocent charm of mid-century British children's literature.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54323348177235,"sku":"4609","price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260714_140658.jpg?v=1784191591","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/jemima-carolines-adventures-in-the-woods-susan-jolly-undated-early-ed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
