The Magic Porridge Pot, 606d, 1971 (later cover style)

The Magic Porridge Pot, 1971.  One of the most popular of the Well-Loved Tales.  The illustrations, by Robert Lumley, fascinate the young reader and linger in the memory for years afterwards  – as does the idea of a world drowning in porridge! Cleverly, Lumley adds in little creatures on most pages for the youngest readers to spot, and these often steal the scene.

This copy: The Magic Porridge Pot, glossy, laminated boards with the style of cover favoured in the 1980s – but inside, this is the original book first published in 1971.  This book is in very good condition inside and out with not much wear and nice, clean pages.  It dates to the 1980s/90s and has the original price of 90p on the back.
