Rupert and Edward at the Circus, by Mary Tourtel the Rupert Little Bear Library number 4.
The "Rupert and Edward at the Circus" story is a thrilling tale of Rupert and his adventures with his friend Edward the Elephant when they go to the circus!
Rupert and his friend Edward end up in peril when they are kidnapped by the circus and made to perform, quite a gritty theme for a Rupert book!
Super Vintage Hardback Children's story book from the 1970s, from the quaint yellow Rupert Little Bear Library retailed by Woolworth's.
This is one of the earliest of these books being number three in the series of 18 so is quite difficult to find.
These sweet vintage Rupert Bear books were published for the famous English company Woolworth's by Sampson Low, Marston & Co., Ltd of London in the 1970's specially for children.
These old 1970's Rupert children's books are becoming quite scarce and difficult to find in good condition and it is great fun to collect the entire run as there were only 18 of these Rupert Books in total.
Fun little books for Bedtime reading or just to collect for nostalgia's sake.

Rupert and Edward at the Circus, was first created by the original Rupert the Bear Illustrator, Mary Tourtel in 1936.
These sweet little daffodil yellow Rupert Bear Books are perfect to collect.
Each delightful Rupert the Bear Tale is illustrated throughout on every page with the original Mary Tourtel line drawings of Rupert and his various friends that feature in each story.
Every story is told in verse that makes them such fun to read to your children.
This Rupert Little Bear Library series that was published in the 1970's eventually had 18 stories in total published between 1973 to 1975 and were available exclusively from Woolworth's stores in England.
Of course the iconic store 'Woolworths' sadly are no longer on the High Street and these sweet little vintage Rupert Books are now a trip down memory lane.
Many children used to eagerly save up their pocket money for the few pennies required to buy them.
A lovely fun read.
