[Children's book with coloured illustrations.] The Pucksy Man. ['A Collins Picture Book'.]

20pp., small 4to (16.5 x 13 cm). Sewn in card wraps, illustrated in colours. In fair condition, lightly and spotted, in worn wraps, with two uncoloured illustrations on the inside wraps coloured in. With ownership inscription on half-title, dated 18 September 1927. Eight attractive full-page colour illustrations (two out of register) in text, in a range of styles, suggesting stock images by different illustrators, and two uncoloured illustrations on the inside wraps, coloured in (by a child?), with another two illustrations on the front and back covers. This item is something of a mystery. Herbertson (born in Norway of Scottish descent) was the author of a number of books (for both children and adults), but there is no record of this title on either OCLC WorldCat or COPAC.
