with each subdivided into CHAPTERS as shown in the CONTENTS at the front (currently on the 'LOOK INSIDE' facility above). 75 cm x 13 cm, I was immediately attracted to the gorgeous front cover illustration of this paperback book that has ice blue coloured enhancement that shimmers in the change of light.

’ooOooMeasuring around 19. It's a lovely book. For those more mature readers too, this is great escapism and very relatable to those more traditional books such as The Wind in the Willows.
