Description:
London/New York: Printed for J. Harris and Crosby and Co./Leadenhall Press/Charles Scribner's Sons, 1899. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Very Good-. No DJ as Issued.. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. A very unusual wee children's book. It is, in effect, a hybrid...where Leadenhall and Scribner's took a number of previously printed (letterpress) textblocks and added an additional signature (interestingly, of a very different type of paper stock) of ads and the like in the rear and re-released the book nearly 100 years after it was originally printed. They continued to print this little "Forgotten Children Book" with then modern textblocks when they ran out of the originals. This form is quite scarce and this is, overall, a handsome copy. Light shelf/edge wear, color paper spine missing (though tight), light toning to leaves, else tight, bright and unmarred. Decorative color paper board, paper onlays at front and rear, black ink lettering. 16mo. 66pp plus 4pp ads. Illus. (b/w plates).
