____ Boo-Boo the Barrage Balloon. London; Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd. [1943]
£140.00
Landscape imperial 8vo.; original pictorial card boards printed in colours to both covers, stapled; pp. [16], pictorial inner covers in monochrome and striking full-page plates in colour; an uncommonly attractive copy with some overall light external dusting, and a short crease to top forecorner of lower cover.
First edition; issued without a dustwrapper. A delightful wartime juvenile picture book anthropomorphising Boo-Boo, an enthusiastic barrage balloon who gets himself in all sorts of predicaments in his desire to help Britain’s air defenses. The author/illustrator is sadly unrecorded.
