Isabella the Fishing Boat

London & Glasgow: Blackie, 1969. First English Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good -. 29 pages. The interior of the book is crisp and clean, with no marks and very little wear. The blue covers are fresh, with light wear at tips and corners. The dust jacket is in slightly less than Very Good condition. It is not price-clipped, and has light wear overall. Sadly, there is a deep (1 inch) chip of paper missing from the bottom of the back cover. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover and despite this flaw looks very attractive. Synopsis: Isabella was a little fishing boat whose great wish was to be taken on a fishing trip out of the harbour in Portuagal where she lives. Her chance comes when a storm breaks over the coast, and drives her far out to sea. There, lost and bewildered, she does a good turn to Carlo, a stork who has also suffered in the storm. Together they return home safe, and with a huge catch. Carlo is strong and well for his winter journey, and Isabella is happy to be home after her exciting journey".
