VALLEY OF ANIMALS. By Elma M. Williams.

1963 1st edition. 8vo (138 x 210mm). B/w photograph plates. Yellow-flecked, salmon pink cloth, gilt titles to red spine-label.

The numerous photograph plates of the Hodder and Stoughton editions do not appear in the contemporary Book Club edition". The valley is Pant Glas, an undisturbed corner of mid-Wales overlooking the Dovey Estuary. The animals are a thriving domestic assortment of hens, dogs, cats, cobs, goats, cocks and a sheep. And this is Elma Williams' true account of life with them in one ever increasing, always changing family".
