This tale of hobgoblins and dragons is his first work of fiction. William Croft Dickinson was a leading scholar of Scottish history who also wrote children's fantasy novels and ghost stories. Complete with the good only original illustrated dustwrapper which has loss to the spine tips, tears and chips with associated creasing to the edges, the front flap presumable has been repaired with multiple pieces of tape at the fold. The contents, with a contemporary ownership inscription to the front free endpaper, are otherwise clean and bright throughout. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities of the cloth a touch rubbed, the top corners with very minor bumping. The thirtieth of April is traditionally the eve of Beltane, the rebirth of summer when, according to Borrobil, the strange little man of William Croft Dickinson’s classic tale, the dark king of winter must be defeated by the white king of summer within the circle of stones. Illustrated with a colour frontispiece and black and white in-text drawings throughout by John Morton-Sale.
