Inscription in pen to one of the blank FFEPs of The Sleeping Beauty, and inscription in pen to front paste-down of Cinderella, dated 1919. In very good, unclipped dust wrappers, with darkening to spines, some chips, creases and tears to extremities, including a little loss to spine tips; with adverts to rear.
