1978 1ST EDITION NORMAN THIRWELL "A PLANK BRIDGE BY A POOL" HARDBACK BOOK (P4)

Great vintage 1ST EDITION hardback book from 1978 by Norman Thelwell on.....

A portrait in words and pictures, of a garden in rural England that has become a wild life sanctuary. It is also the story of how one man realized a boyhood dream. Norman Thelwell was brought up in Birkenhead, in England's industrial north-west. One of his greatest childhood pleasures was to be taken for an outing in a rowing boat on a nearby lake. Ever since then, he has been in love with boats and water. Some thirty years later he began to realize his dream - to have a stretch of open water beside his own house, wher he might paint, fish, row, and above all - watch the changing light and seasons and the wild life of rural Hampshire.

Contains illustrations. Photos show some fading to the dust jacket and photo 4 shows wear to the top of the dust jacket and is price clipped. Binding and pages inside are in nice condition especially as the book is 46 years old.

See photos for content pages and examples of pages inside.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BUYING:
  • OVERSEAS CUSTOMERS: eBay's estimated delivery dates for International ECONOMY are incorrect. They are working to resolve this (allegedly) but estimates are too short. In reality, ECONOMY takes up to 2 weeks to Western Europe, up to 5 weeks to Eastern Europe, up to 6 weeks to USA & Canada, up to 8 weeks to Asia and up to 3 months to Australia/New Zealand. Sometimes deliveries can be before these estimates (eg. USA sometimes receives packages in 2 weeks) but best be prepared for the longest estimate. Economy does not have tracking. If you require tracking, select International Tracked option.
  • I try my best to genuinely describe good & bad points (if any!). Happy to answer any questions before you purchase.
