Sobre este artículo
London: Heinemann, 1935. A first edition, first printing published by Heinemann in 1935. A near fine book with one neat gift inscription to the front endpaper in a neatly clipped near fine wrapper with one small reinforcement to the head of the spine and a little rubbing to the corners and spine tips. A superb copy of this title which is exceedingly rare in this condition.
Sinopsis
First published in 1935 "National Velvet" is the story of a 14-year-old girl named Velvet Brown, a teenager in the late 1920s, living in a small coastal village in Sussex, England. Velvet is a shy child who trains and rides her horse, named The Piebald, to victory in the Grand National steeplechase. National Velvet was made into a very successful film in 1944 starring a twelve-year old Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet. -

National Velvet is one of the best books I read as a child and many years later,as an adult!!! One of my favorite movies is National Velvet with Elizabeth Taylor as Velvet Brown,the young rider, and Mickey Rooney as a retired jockey,who became The Piebald's (Pie)trainer!!This is a wonderful story about a young girl's impossible dream and her determination to make it come true!!!Also, the reader gets a glimpse of life in the English countryside during the 1930's!I am so happy that the copy I purchased from Bibli.com was published in 1935 and is in great condition!!!P.S.The drawings in the book were drawn by the author's (Enid Bagnold)own daughter,Laurian,who was 13!!
