Bound in light blue cloth with pictorial stamping in gold on the cover and spine and gold lettering, as well as blind-stamped motif to rear cover; coloured top. Pictorial endpapers. Sixteen full-page illustrations in colour by Arthur Rackham mounted on gray paper and protected by tissue guards, and twenty-four drawings in black and white.

Condition

Discolouration and staining to spine, with bumping to tips and a little wear to joints. Patches of discolouration and soiling to boards, but gilt lettering remains bright. Heavy foxing to edges, sporadically throughout and heavy offsetting to endpapers and throughout (from the tissue guards). Hinges nice and strong, but a crack between pages 80 and 81 (no loose pages).
