The first edition, first impression with no further impressions stated. In the original unclipped dust wrapper. With charming illustrations throughout. 

In Five on a Hike Together, the Famous Five set off on a walking holiday but become entangled in a mystery involving a secret message, stolen loot, and an escaped convict. Their adventure leads them to hidden treasure and unexpected danger.

In the original cloth binding in the original unclipped dust wrapper. Externally very smart with slight bumping to the extremities. Slightly cocked. Front hinge strained. Prior owner’s ink inscription to recto of front free endpaper. Dust wrapper is generally smart with chipping and the occasional closed tear to the extremities, more significant to the head of the spine. Spotting to the reverse of the wrap. Internally firmly bound. Pages generally bright and clean with just the odd spot, heavier to the fore edge and the first and last few pages.

Grading: GOOD in a GOOD dust wrapper.
