Rosemary Sutcliff – Brother Dusty Feet – First UK Edition 1952
£375.00
A first edition, first printing published by Oxford University Press. A very good book with one name and address to the half title page. Some spotting to the page edges. In a good unclipped wrapper which has internal tape repairs – one large to the front panel. A chip to the top of the rear panel and one thinner to the top of the front panel. Wear and rubbing to the edges. This is the story of Hugh Copplestone, who lived in Devon during the reign of Queen Elizabeth. When his father died, Hugh and his beloved dog Argos had to go to live with his Aunt Alison, who did not like either boys or dogs. When she threatened Argos, Hugh ran away. Hoping to get to the University at Oxford, as his father had done before him, instead he fell in with a band of wandering players and had a year of adventure, travel and learning before finding a new home. Excpetionally scarce in anything like collectable condition.
