London: John Murray, 1977. First edition. Cloth. Near Fine/Very Good Indeed. 10" by 7.5". Phillida Gili. A delightfully presented book following the youthful adventures of Archibald Ormsby Gore, the bear.

Betjeman originally wrote the story for his family when they lived in Berkshire, using Archie to explore local history and fly over the Berkshire Downs with homemade wings. Betjeman made rough sketches to accompany the book, which he gave to Phillida Gili to interpret and transform into the delightful full colour illustrations which are present in the work. In original publisher's cloth binding, with bear motif to the front board. In original price-clipped dust wrapper. Externally in excellent condition, with minor shelf wear to the extremities.
