I found it in Pickering, North Yorkshire, but it was given as a prize by an Edinburgh Chuch of Scotland Sunday school in 1962/63.

I stumbled into The Gilded Acorn book shop in Holborn last December, bought a book, wrecked the Christmas wreath & stumbled out. The person on the till was incredibly friendly & forgiving & it's one of my favourite places. (I bought Top Girls by Caryl Churchill).
