St Marys Books

A gorgeous edition of this classic children's tale unusual to find complete with the dust jacket. Dust jacket with pictorial front cover is in good condition with the front cover still fairly bright and clean, minor foxing to the rear and a little toning to the spine. There is a small piece missing along the top and base of the front cover and a small piece missing to the top of the spine. Original rich blue cloth boards with pictorial in gilt and black to the front, gilt titles and vignette to the spine. The front board is in a lovely clean condition while there is a little fading to the spine and minor off-setting to the rear. Internally the binding is tight. Pages are free of any foxing or marks with the exception of the last page which has a little foxing. Beautifully illustrated throughout with either a full page colour illustration or a little vignette to the top of the page or a colour illustration with-in the text. pp. 272. Overall a lovely copy. Would make an ideal gift.
