Description

A first edition, first printing of Worzel Gummidge by Barbara Euphan Todd.

  • Barbara Euphan Todd (English).
  • London: Burns Oates, 1936.
  • In dust wrapper with red topstain.


Barbara Euphan Todd's Worzel Gummidge has left an indelible mark on British culture since its debut in 1936. The whimsical tales of the mischievous scarecrow, brought to life with Todd's charm and wit, captivated generations of readers.


The series' cultural impact expanded with television adaptations, notably in the 1970s and '80s, starring Jon Pertwee as Worzel. The character's enduring popularity and iconic status in children's literature reflect Todd's ability to blend fantasy with gentle morality.
