Fairy Tales
Book Description
                        1st US Edition.  18.7 x 24.7 cm brick red cloth with gilt vignette and titles to the front and spine and the David McKay stamp at the foot of the spine.  Top edge gilt, peach and white silhouette endpapers, 287[1]pp with 12 full page colour illustrations each with a captioned tissue guard and 59 black and white line drawings by Arthur Rackham as called for.  In original dust jacket with publisher’s name at the foot of the spine and in original publisher’s box with a picture echoing the front of the book on the top of the lid and another with titles on the bottom edge.  A fine book clean and bright and without name inscription or bookplate in a near fine clean and unfaded jacket with three very small closed of tears of 2-4mm to the spine tips.  The box is complete although the lid is somewhat rubbed with repairs to the inner joints and rubbing to the corners and edges.  However, it has protected the book and dust jacket well and all in all this is a really lovely copy.
