They were published in 1946, so they have those interesting covers that were put on many children's books at that time, with the very formal hardover left visible on the spines but covered by colourful paper on the face and back. They are not in great condition, but they are a far sight nicer than the paperbacks that were on the boys' shelves before. TC,
