Description: This is a charming lot of fifteen (one not pictured) vintage Puffin paperback books which were published by Penguin Books in the 1960s and 1970s. At the time when these were first available to the public they were not originally for sale in the USA due to copyright reasons which makes them a little harder to come by especially the early printings. Puffin books were children’s division of Penguin Books. These books are in good- to very good condition. Some are illustrated. Read more important deets below.
