The Secret Seven

BLYTON, Enid. The Secret Seven. Illustrations by George Brook. Leicester: The Brockhampton Press [1949]. 8vo, 96pp. Beige cloth stamped in red. Color illustrated frontispiece and numerous half-tone illustrations. Spine ends a bit rubbed; corners less so; slight soiling to cloth; very small dark spot on fore edge, else a clean, tight copy in original color pictorial dust jacket (some tears – none more than half-an-inch – and creases along edges, a bit soiled with one light pen marking at top of front panel). Scarce!

First edition. The first book in one of Blyton’s most beloved series! The 15 books in this classic British detective series have delighted readers for generations with their disguises, games, suspects, friends, enemies and outdoor adventures, and this lovely first edition of the first novel in the series is a true treasure!
