Description
The Adventures of Humbert, Simp & Harquin by John Burningham is a wonderful omnibus edition collecting three classic stories from the beloved children’s author and illustrator. Published by Jonathan Cape in London in 1976 and printed and bound in Great Britain, this edition brings together Humbert, Mister Firkin & The Lord Mayor of London (1965), Cannonball Simp (1966), and Harquin (1967).
Burningham, a two-time Kate Greenaway Medal winner, is known for his distinctive illustration style, gentle humour, and memorable characters. This collection offers a lovely glimpse into his early work, with stories full of charm, imagination, adventure, and the slightly quirky warmth that made his books so enduring.
A strong choice for collectors of vintage children’s books, John Burningham fans, illustrated storybook collectors, and readers who appreciate classic British picture books.
