About This Item
London and Edinburgh: W & R Chambers, Limited A good copy with dustwrapper in the original decorative cloth binding with 9 colour illustrations by Chas. Pears. Undated but early 1900's. A nice collection of fairy stories. The wrapper has considerable loss to the top and bottom of the spine and back section. It is slightly grubby. It is in a removeable plastic wrap. The decorative cloth binding is a little shaken, with a slight warp to the front board, some pulling to the spine and slight wear to corners. With frontispiece, title page in blue inks and text with 8 further illustrations. Many small black and white illustrations in the text. There is some browning to page edges and the odd spot. There is a more recent bookplate to the front free endpaper and some marking on the endpapers coinciding with the edge of the dustwrapper.
