Well done! I know how it feels to have something that we have been seeking for so long. :D

Except the £215 copy one back in May 2017! The most pristine copy that I have ever laid my eyes on! :D

Now we know the reason it went beyond £200! The scarce book in pristine condition.

Is this book hard to get hold of in the original edition too?

Not quite so hard, Pete. But not all that easy either!! :lol:

they are a 'bit' cheaper though - I got my Very Good copy of The Secret of the Old Mill for £16 on eBay in 2016. :-D

hearts mad delight,
Sing on, sing on, and when the sun is gone
I'll warm me with your echoes
through the night.'

but they are as scarce as hen's teeth.
I wouldn't be so sure about hen's teeth being scarce. Some scientists are playing with the DNA of birds (hens included) and they already found the trigger to let them grow teeth again.

It was a nuisance. An adventure was one thing - but an adventure without anything to eat was quite another thing. That wouldn't do at all. (The Valley of Adventure)
