About This Item
London; Edinburgh; and New York: T Nelson and Sons, 1882 A very good copy in original green decorative cloth binding with black and white frontispiece and decorative title page. A collection of stories including Bluebeard and The Fisherman and the Geni. The binding has gilt and black titles with black decoration to the front board, gilt titles to spine and blind stamped decoration to the back board. It is very bright with a slight mark on the front board, a little pulling and wear to the spine and corner bumping. The boards have beveled edges. All page edges gilt. The endpapers have a grey leaf design - there is a little browning to edges but they are otherwise clean. Contents with frontispiece, decorative title page and plain title page dated 1882. The frontispiece has been bound slightly askew so the bottom edge is further out than the top. 3 pp adverts at the rear. Contents generally very clean.
