Halcyon by Pierre Herbart, translated by Agnes Mackay and illustrated by John Harrison. Published by John Lehmann in 1948. Not a very valuable book but you can nearly always rely on John Lehmann for quality. I didn't buy this in the end, but now that I look back at the quick snaps I took of the illustrations I begin to wish I had. So apologies for the phone-quality photographs... another one that got away...
