Irish Fairy Tales by James Stephens

London: Macmillan & Co. Ltd., [Undated]. Known to have been published in 1920. First trade edition, first impression. Sized 17.7 x 21.5 cm. Pp. x, 318. Bound in green cloth with pictorial stamping in gold on the cover and gold lettering. Sixteen full-page illustrations by Arthur Rackham in colour and twenty-one drawings in black and white. Coloured top edge.

Condition

Cloth boards and joints a bit worn and marked. Bumping and a little fraying to spine tips and corners. Spine sunned with gilt work very worn. Foxing to edges and one 4cm mark to bottom edge and one 1/2cm mark to fore edge, as pictured. Hinges a little worn, but sturdy with no breaks, nor netting exposed. Some foxing and offsetting to prelims and tissue guards throughout. Some marks left behind to FFEP after a pencil inscription was erased. A few pages show a little marking to the bottom of the page, but far away from text and illustrations. All in all, a nice, smart-looking copy that is complete with all illustrations.
