The original publisher's boards are well-preserved, remaining sturdy and clean with only slight rubbing to the extremities and very minor bumping to the corners. The binding is remarkably firm and square. Internally, the pages are notably crisp and bright, showing only faint, localised age-toning typical of the era, and remaining entirely free from any foxing or obtrusive marks. The accompanying original dust-jacket is fair, exhibiting significant signs of handling and wear; this includes creasing, edge-rubbing, and a large open tear with considerable loss to the top edge of the rear panel. Additional chipping and closed tears are present along the spine ends and panel edges, though the front cover illustration remains remarkably vibrant and intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This is a true First Edition of this mid-century children's title. The volume is heavily illustrated throughout with wonderful, candid black-and-white photographs by Paul Kaye, who collaborated with the author to document the real-life antics of a puppy and a kitten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eWhile the author's standard fictional output is widely available and deeply catalogued, these specific photographic collaborations are somewhat uncommon on the open market. Locating a true First Edition that still retains its original dust-jacket, even one exhibiting the flaws and tears commensurate with a heavily handled children's book of this vintage, is increasingly difficult for collectors of her wider bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eA heartwarming and humorous photographic tale by one of Britain's most beloved children's authors, \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"106\"\u003eMischief Again!\u003c\/i\u003e follows the lively, real-world adventures of an earnest puppy and a very mischievous kitten. Brought to life by Enid Blyton's engaging narrative and Paul Kaye's captivating photography, this enchanting mid-century story captures the innocent curiosity and playful chaos of two young animals exploring their world, from trying to master a gramophone to making friends with a duckling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54354261868883,"sku":"4671","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260717_181951.jpg?v=1784551747","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/mischief-again-enid-blyton-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
