The Worst Witch’ written and by illustrated by Jill Murphy. Published by Allison & Busby. 1974. UK 1st edition. The book is in very good condition with no marks or inscriptions. There is some wear to the base of the spine and slight loss to the print, but internally the book is in beautiful bright condition. The dustwrapper is also in very good condition. There is slight loss to the top and base of the spine and corners. The very bottom of the front cover/spine join has a very small amount of loss. Please see image three. There is no loss to any print. The front inner flap has creasing at the top and a closed tear at the base, as does the rear flap. Comes in a clear protective cover. A unique opportunity to purchase the very first book in the hugely popular Worst Witch series and arguably one of the most influential childrens books of recent decades. Extremely rare.
