London: SPCK, 1954

8vo, unpaginated. Original illustrated stiff paper wrapper, lettered in blue and red to front panel. Age-toned, some wear and bumping to (outsize) wrappers, but a very good copy.

First edition, INSCRIBED ON HALF-TITLE BY THE AUTHOR: 'Inscribed for [?] Huggett John Betjeman 1970'.

Not a scarce book, but very scarce signed or inscribed. This copy was inscribed sixteen years after publication in Betjeman's by then very shaky hand.
