This is a genuine 1930's adventure novel - very bulky too, but only because the pages are so thick! Beautifully drawn, delicate illustrations by British illustrator Gordon Browne (1858 - 1932). Love the design and type on the cover too.

"Noddy And His Car" By Enid Blyton, Illustrations By Harmsen van der Beek (published by Sampson Low, Marston & Co., Ltd and C.A. Publications, Ltd, London 1951) Part 3
The original Noddy pictures by Dutch illustrator Harmsen van der Beek (1897 - 1953) - this was the third in the series. Many illustrators and animators worked on the Noddy books for decades after Beek's death but none managed to capture the quality, warmth and quirkiness of his characters.
