First trade edition, first printing. Bound in red cloth with pictorial stamping on the cover and spine in tan and black, and black lettering. Sized 22.8 x 15.6 cm. Pp. 286. Illustrated by Arthur Rackham with 8 full-page illustrations in colour and sixty drawings in black and white; also pictorial end-papers in tan bv vand white. Top edge coloured.

Condition

Discolouration to spine and cover extremities. Spine tips a little bumped. Foxing to edges and prelims, and some offsetting to endpapers, with only sporadic foxing throughout. Rather messy inscription in purple pen (?) to blank FFEP. Spine is ever-so-slightly cocked. A very good copy in a very torn dust wrapper that is missing its rear flap and panel, as well as a significant portion of the spine. A little archival tape was used on the inside to keep in place the pieces detached from the spine. The front panel and flap that are present are a little grubby, worn and nicked to extremities, but do have the original 8/6 net price. Dust wrapper has now placed in a removable, protective sleeve of archival quality.
