Children's Hardcover Book, The Flying Hockey Stick, Jolly Roger Bradfield, First Edition, Collectible, Picture Book, Illustrated

A wonderful children's hardcover book called The Flying Hockey Stick by Jolly Roger Bradfield. The book is illustrated by the author with bright and fun art. This is a 1966 first edition.

Barnaby Jones, the hero of this tale, had an exceptional imagination, and he had no doubt that, with the proper design, he could build a craft that would lift him into the sky. Not for a moment did he doubt that a series of electric cords would provide the proper thrust for his vehicle or that a common fan could pull it high into the air, over tall buildings and across vast oceans. Surely such faith and determination will assure that his name will be forever linked with those other pioneers of flight history -- Orville and Wilbur Wright, Charles Lindberg and Neil Armstrong.

Roger Martin Bradfield (1924 – 2021) was an American children's books writer, illustrator, cartoonist, painter, and world traveler.

Very Good: Describes a book that shows some small signs of wear - but no tears - on either binding or paper. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Good: Describes the average used book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects should be noted by the seller.

Fair: Worn book that has complete text pages (including those with maps or plates) but may lack endpapers, half-title, etc. Binding, jacket (if any), etc., may also be worn. All defects should be noted.
