This vintage hardback edition of Susan in the Sixth is a charming example of mid-20th-century British schoolgirl fiction, published by Blackie & Son Limited and featuring evocative illustrations by Ruth Murrell. Margaret Biggs was a prolific and well-regarded author in the "school story" genre, particularly known for her beloved Melling series, which this title precedes. The book is bound in its original vibrant red cloth with black stamped lettering on the front board and spine. The condition is good for its age, showing some light shelf wear and minor fading to the spine, while the internal pages remain clean with a secure binding and a crisp frontispiece.
