The colour-pictorial front panels of eleven dustwrappers of books for girls published in London by Blackie, circa 1940
They are mounted, 'as issued', in concertina-form on cloth. The spine of the first one, 'The Chartfield School Mystery' by Monica Marsden, is also present. This provides the details of the publisher, and paper residue on its cloth backing suggests it was originally tipped into (say) a representative's portfolio of samples. Titles include 'Felicity's Fortune' by Bessie Marchant; 'Lorrie's First Term' by Norah Mylrea; 'The Fortunes of Philippa' by Angela Brazil; and 'This Time Next Term' and 'Two Thrilling Terms', both by Nancy Breary.
