This is a vintage 1997 edition printed in China, with slightly yellow pages. It has the original text in clear dark print and has original illustrations by Jenny Chapple. Readers familiar with these books will know that since atleast 15 to 20 years, there are no illustrations in Enid Blyton books. Hence editions like this posted by me are very valuable and difficult to get now. Please do not make any offer in coins. The book is slightly negotiable only in cash.
