King John and the Magna Carta, 1969, Series 561

£6.00

King John and the Magna Carta was the 27th title in the 561 series, colourfully written by L du Garde Peach and illustrated by John Kenney.  This book was never issued with a dustwrapper – at least, not until the facsimile editions started to appear in around 2015.

In this colourful telling of the life and times of bad King John, writer L du Garde Peach and artist John Kenney seem to be enjoying themselves – both text and illustrations dance along in lively fashion.  Yet the long-running collaboration between these two men was coming to an end.  They would go on to illustrate only two more books together.

This book is in very good condition inside and out.  There’s a neat name and address on the front endpapers.  There’s only light wear to the boards and nice, clean pages. With a tally number of 250, I believe it to be a first edition.
