The hardback book with gilt titles was published in 1926, costing 7s 6d, but experts at Keys Auctioneers in Aylsham are hoping it will fetch between £200 and £250 – but say it could sell for much more. The first edition coming up in the auction on Friday is said to be "in stunning condition", especially considering so many children’s books become well-worn with age.
