Tales of the Broad Acres (containing Sally Scarth; The Loaded Stick; and Roots)

234pp.  Blue cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on spine.  8vo.  Cloth is a little tired, gently rubbed and rounded at corners and spine ends.  Some faint spotting on text block edges.  There are some tape residue marks on both the front and rear free endpapers, and signs of handing to first few pages else internally neat, clean, bright and tight.  In its original, illustrated dust wrapper, lightly rubbed on edges and joints, small scar towards the bottom of the spine, shelf wear on verso visible.  Dust jacket in a protective, removable clear film sleeve. In the three novels which comprise this omnibus edition, Jacob exposes her powerful characterisation, making them live beyond the page.
