Description: "Young children will delight in the adventures of Sandy, the pet rabbit, who runs away to join Bobbity, the wild rabbit, and all his woodland friends."

Charming, full-page colour illustrations on every other page. Illustrated monochrome pastedowns and endpapers depict Mr. Fox devouring a bramble pie whilst the rabbits hide in terror.

Pictorial matt boards are lightly soiled. As is the case with most matt board Ladybirds, the spine and corners are bumped. Internally, the book is in excellent condition: the pages are free from foxing or any other marking, and are tightly bound. Although the only date given is 1948, this reprint dates from c.1971.
