Description

8vo., First Edition, with frontispiece, numerous full-page illustrations and maps in the text, and large folding map in green and black at end; original pictorial wrappers, lower wrapper lightly browned else a near fine copy. With the publisher's printed slip advising of possible wartime restrictions mounted on half-title. Published in GWR's much sought-after 'Rambles ' series, with evocative illustrations by Charles H J Mayo and delightful flat-colour wrapper artwork after the style of Brian Cook. The author was secretary of the North Finchley Rambling Club and a great champion of the traditional rights of walkers over field paths. He co-authored the series with E Roland Williams and undertook personally all routes described. IN THIS CONDITION, A RARE SURVIVAL.
