A Book of Dwarfs by Ruth Manning-Sanders gathers ten lesser-known folk tales where cunning little folk outwit giants, kings and even spells. First published in 1967, this vintage Methuen hardcover pairs the author’s crisp retellings with Robin Jacques’ intricate line drawings, making it a charming shelf piece for collectors of classic children’s fantasy.
The 96-page illustrated volume shows only gentle shelf evidence—light cover marks and a small blemish inside the front board—while every page remains crisp, unmarked and tightly bound. No inscriptions, no smoke or dog-eared corners, just a clean copy ready for bedtime reading or display.
Ideal for fairy-tale lovers, gnome hunters and anyone curating British folklore, this durable jacketless hardback suits ages 4 to adult. Secure it today to add a scarce mid-century dwarf storybook to your Ruth Manning-Sanders or mythology shelf.
