Signed and dated by Philip Pullman on the title page. The Scarecow “meets a boy, Jack, who becomes his faithful servant. Leaving behind his usual bird-scaring duties, the Scarecrow sets out for Spring Valley, with Jack at his side. Along the way there’s no end of exitement, not least avoiding the many members of the crooked Buffaloni family. As the valiant Scarecrow plunges them into terrifying dangers - battle and shipwreck, brigands and tricksters - it’s up to Jack time after time to save the day. A dramatic tale full of twists and turns, surprises and silliness...” (from the jacket text).

As new.
