Third printing (the first & second were in 1960 & 1971, with pictorial papered boards and jackets, but this third printing was published with laminated (glazed) boards and I suspect, as usual for the time, with no dustjacket). Hardcover. Quarto-size. Endpapers noticeably foxed (not extending to inner pages), otherwise very good. Wonderful colour illustrations by Ardizzone for this story (one of his less well-known ones) of a small boy ("clever at making things.") and his parents and disbelieving peer group (except for a little girl his age), and most local shop-keepers and tradesmen, all of whom are downright rude and discouraging about Johnny's plan to make a grandfather clock, from scratch. Last laugh goes to the bright and dogged child! And hoorah to the blacksmith who helped.

All plates present but do not quite follow binder's instructions for placement. Light foxing to prelims, otherwise clean and bright. A clean copy with no previous owners' markings or inscriptions.
