The hardback, clothbound book is in very good condition. The dustjacket has some wear and tear around its edges, but is still intact and complete and the colours are still bright and without fading.

This is a publication of unusually high quality. A crown emblem and 'Elizabeth II 1953' are embossed into the cover of the book. There are nine truly beautiful full-page, full-colour plates and a great many black and white photo illustrations. The endpapers are particularly beautiful.

192pp. Published by Odhams Press Ltd, London, First Edition, 1953.
