This is a special 1940 first - printing book. To use it, simply open it up and enjoy the story written by Noel Streatfeild. When handling the book, make sure your hands are clean to avoid adding more soiling. Since the cover and dust jacket are a bit worn, be gentle when opening and closing the book to prevent further damage. Store it in a dry and cool place to slow down the darkening of the text block. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight for long periods as it can fade the colors of the cover and the text.
