Binding good with a little movement. Illustrated endpapers. Unpaginated, colour and b/w illustrations by the author. Light damp stain to base of some pages. Magdalen Eldon wrote and illustrated three children s picture-story books that feature a Pekinese dog called Bumble. Bumble is a Pekinese dog, who happens to be half Chinese (of course, as a Peke) and half Scottish.

They all live in Windwhistle Manor, a cosy hollow tree and old badger sett on a Devonshire moor, with a family of Scottish mice. Snow Bumble is based loosely on the close memory of a terribly hard winter with very deep snow that really occurred in Britain during the winter of 1950-1951 shortly before the second Bumble book appeared. (It may also recall the impact of the Blitz during World War II, and the severe privations of wartime and post-war rationing across Britain.) The central narrative issue in Snow Bumble is the struggle to survive the terrible storms and then the deep snows that completely isolate Bumble and the Macmouses.
