First edition. 128pp., a colour frontispiece, 26 full-page and many in-text black and white illustrations. 'BB' was a pen-name of Denys James Watkins-Pitchford MBE (1905-1990), a British naturalist, illustrator and children's author who won the 1942 Carnegie Medal for British children's books. He spent a great deal of time on his own, wandering through the fields, and developed a love of the outdoors, which was to influence his writing. The Wizard of Boland is a bewitching story about the Forest of Boland and the creatures who live there - scheming gnomes, black cats, dragons, cowzies, and, most exciting of all, the Wizard. The book is bound in the original light blue boards with red titling on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with bumping to the spine ends. There is slight browning on about 1/2" of the top edge of the front board and a patch of more noticeable browning to about 1/2" of the front half of the top of the spine and to about 1/8" of the bottom of the spine. There is slight fading on up to about 3/4" of the top and bottom edges of the rear board and bottom edge of the front board. There is some browning and foxing to the free endpapers but no inscription. The unclipped dustwrapper is in good to very good condition with shelf wear and some soiling, rubbing to the edges and a 1/4" hole on the rear fore edge. Small pieces are missing from the corners and about 1/2" is missing from the bottom of the spine. Large pieces of up to about 1" are missing from most of the top front and rear edges and the top of the spine.

A story of good and evil, The Wizard of Boland centres around a group of gnomes who one day discover a dragon sleeping on a pile of gold in a cave near their village. While they are horrified by the discovery, the wizard Homm is delighted - he requires dragon's blood for his spells. Overcome by greed, he sets out to get his prize. Denys Watkins-Pitchford first found fame with The Little Grey Men (1942), a work which first features the appearance of gnomes (there named Sneezewort, Baldmoney and Dodder). The author was first inspired to write about these 'little people' at the age of four, when he was profoundly changed after looking out of his nursery window to see, incontrovertibly, a gnome in his garden. From that day forward he maintained a belief in fairy-folk, and over the course of his life he published a huge number of children's stories on the theme of fantasy, many featuring witches and wizards along with his own charming illustrations. He was also a lifetime lover of the countryside, and his stories, combined with an intimate and unsentimental knowledge of animals, birds and plants, remain popular today. Very scarce with the wrapper. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
