Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Second printing of the first edition, published in July 1941. The book was first published in October 1940. Illustrated with eight black & white plates by the author and line drawings by Reg. Gammon throughout the book. ***Very good in light-green cloth-covered boards with black titles to the spine and black titles and illustration to the front board. The boards are clean and unmarked, having been protected by the dustwrapper, with just some fading to an area of the spine where the dustwrapper has a white panel which must have let sunlight through. Head and tail of spine slightly creased. Edges of boards uncreased. Corners sharp. No reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Light foxing to the page block edges, mainly to the fore-edge. Internally also very good, with a previous owner's gift inscription on the front free endpaper. The pages are clean, with no foxing. No creases or tears. ***In a very good illustrated dustwrapper, which has not been price-clipped, retaining the original publisher's printed price of 5/- net. The dustwrapper correctly states Second Impression (i.e. the second printing of the first edition using the same printing plates). Unusually, the dustwrapper is complete, without any significant loss - just some rubbing and creasing at the extremities commensurate with age and handling, mainly at the top and tail of the spine. The white areas of the spine and back panel are slightly marked and stained. ***168 pages. 200mm x 142mm. ***'About this book --- Once again the trio, Romany, Raq and Tim, go out into the countryside and see the intimate lives of Silver and Shad and their badger cubs, Quill the Mallard, Falk the Merlin and Rick the Stickleback, Plume the Woodcock and Lank the Heron. Whilst following the adventures of these, Romany continually points out all the interesting things which young folk want to know about the birds and animals. In fact after reading this and the Romany books one knows what to look for in the country. It is written with the same charm and fascination which the author displays when broadcasting in the famous "Out with Romany" series. The sketches by Reg. Gammon and the half-tone plates are a continuous delight.' (Quote taken from the back panel of the dustwrapper) ***'The Rev. George Bramwell Evens (15 Feb 1884 - 20 Nov 1943) was, under the pseudonym "Romany" (and sometimes "The Tramp"), a British radio broadcaster and writer on countryside and natural history matters - quite possibly the first to broadcast on such issues. He was also a Minister of the Methodist Church. He is most famous for his Out with the Romany radio programmes (later Out with Romany), which commenced in 1933 on the BBC's Children's Hour, describing travels in his vardo (Romany wagon), with Comma the horse, his English Cocker Spaniel Raq, and his young friends Muriel and Doris. Although the programmes were all pre-scripted and performed entirely in the studio, the impression given was of Romany and his friends going for a walk in the countryside and spontaneously discussing the plants and animals they came across. The Romany Society, originally formed in 1943, disbanded in 1965, and re-founded in 1996, celebrates his life and work, with regular newsletters and an annual magazine. Its patron is Terry Waite. The BBC radio programmes were all broadcast live, and only one recording survives - dated October 1943, just a month before his death. (Wiki) ***A second printing of the first edition, published in 1941 at the height of the Blitz in World War Two, complete in its original dustwrapper. Of interest to collectors of the nature writings of G. Bramwell Evens, the "Romany" of the B.B.C. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
