Fairy Tales by Charles Perrault.

London: The Folio Society, [1998]. Second printing thus. Illustrated by Edmund Dulac. Translated and edited by Arthur Quiller-Couch and Robert Samber. 253 × 191 × 36 mm. Pp. [i–x], 1–185 [186]: [34] pages of colour plates. Type: Caslon with Kuenstler Script for the title-page. Printed by the Saint Edmundsbury Press, the plates by the Amadeus Press. Bound by Hunter and Foulis in full red buckram with a design in pink, green, white and gold by Dulac (redrawn by David Eccles); grey endleaves. Red slip case.

This edition is based on a collection of Perrault’s tales retold by Quiller-Couch, first published with Dulac’s illustrations in 1910 by Hodder and Stoughton. Other tales have been added from Samber’s eighteenth-century translations. In addition to the delightful colour plates, there are head- and tail-pieces for each story and other decorations drawn by Dulac.

Fine book with pages tightly bound and free of inscriptions. In equally fine slipcase with a little shelf-wear.
