A very good first edition copy of this modern children's classic by the poet & author John Masefield, rare in the dust-jacket and in such condition. The Midnight Folk precedes the author's more famous The Box of Delights (1935), together forming 'an important English fantasy sequence' (Clute & Grant, The Encyclopedia of Fantasy); the book has enjoyed several theatrical and radio adaptations over the years.

First edition, first impression; 8vo; publisher's blue cloth lettered in gilt, corners slightly rubbed, very slightly shaky, dust-jacket, slightly darkened, minor rubbing to extremities with small clean splits to some corners, overall very good.
