Item description from seller

Green cloth-covered boards (gently rounded at spine ends). Internally neat, clean, bright and tight although a couple of pages show a hint of toning along the gutter. Illustrated, a few in colour. In its original dust jacket (a little bumped and toned at edges, sunned on spine). The writing phenomena known wildly as Frank Richards (real name Charles Hamilton) died at his home in Kingsgate, Kent in 1961 - by then it was estimated he had written over a thousand full length novels. His work appeared continuously for over 30 years in the famous Fleetway House magazine, The Magnet. Most famous of all was his immortal creation, Billy Bunter, the Fat Owl of Grayfrairs Remove, whose exploits enchanted readers from 1908 to 1940. Sadly, the war put an end to the Magnet and, although Richards revived Bunter in other formats after the war, they never quite recaptured the evergreen magic of the original, much-loved, boys' paper. It was for this reason that some 35 years later Howard Baker presented the first of his excellent faithful facsimiles. Each facsimile edition contains a complete series of stories from the Magnet's great golden age. This volume reproduces Volume 68 of the Magnet and contains Billy Bunter tales including Coker Comes a Cropper, The Schoolboy Detective etc. 4to.
