Time For Dreaming

A very scarce title. An eighteen-year-old girl facing a fairy-tale future, and whose mother made something of a mess of her own life, decides that she wants "time for dreaming--a chance to explore the byways before the golden gates of happy-ever-after-land" close behind her (which means that she ends up in a castle, is attracted to a man she should steer clear of, deals with a few unusual children, and is possessed of a secret she can't tell anyone). Red cloth w/white spine lettering/design, Jenkins device blind-stamped to back cover, 172 pages + 3 pages of ads for other Jenkins titles. A scarce title in hardcover first edition and boasting a dust jacket. Bump to bottom spine end, mild slant, 1/4" tear to fore-edge of page 111/112, light toning, in price-clipped dust jacket w/sticker remains/pull to top right portion of front cover, 1/8" tear to top edge of front panel, light chipping to corners/spine ends, impressions. Dust jacket now in protective mylar sleeve. A presentable copy of a collectible title.
