Publication: London, Collins, 1968

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 64.

Condition Report: Very Good. The book is preserved within its original, unclipped pictorial dust wrapper, which remains bright with minimal fading to the blue panels. The wrapper shows minor edge-wear, characterised by shallow chipping and small nicks concentrated at the head and foot of the spine, along with a mild crease to the lower front edge. Beneath the wrapper, the binding is remarkably tight and square, showing no signs of shelf-lean. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and entirely free from foxing or handling marks, indicating the book has been carefully handled. The text block is firm, and the hinges are sound.

Catalogue Note: This is an attractive Tenth Impression of Alison Uttley's beloved story, originally published in 1947. This 1968 printing retains the series' classic, uniform charm, featuring Margaret Tempest’s iconic colour illustrations throughout. The rear panel of the dust wrapper lists the series titles up to the twenty-sixth instalment, Little Grey Rabbit's Pancake Day. While first editions of Uttley's works command significant premiums, mid-century later printings of this calibre, especially those retaining a vibrant, unclipped original dust wrapper, remain highly desirable for collectors looking to complete their series with clean, attractive copies.

In Little Grey Rabbit & the Weasels, the peaceful woodland is thrown into chaos when a band of wicked weasels arrives in the neighborhood. After Speckledy Hen is robbed of her precious eggs, the situation turns dire as Little Grey Rabbit herself is captured by the mischievous intruders. It falls upon her loyal friends, including Hare and Squirrel, to mount a daring rescue before it is too late. Brimming with Alison Uttley’s deep affection for country ways and beautifully complemented by Margaret Tempest’s enchanting artwork, this heartwarming tale perfectly captures the enduring magic of the animal kingdom.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
