Lucius Books. Rare Books, First Editions, Signed copies in York, UK

Description:

First edition thus. Undated. Original green cloth with gilt titles and illustration to the front and spine. A superb NEAR FINE copy, the boards and gilt very clean and bright. The contents are entirely complete with the tipped in tissue guarded colour frontispiece published here for the first time and 12 further black and white illustrations, as called for. Previous owner’s gift inscription dated 1921 to the blank front free endpaper. Complete with the NEAR FINE pictorial dustwrapper that is beautifully clean and bright with only a horizontal crease (where presumably it was folded and stored away) to mention. A fabulous example, exceedingly scarce in dustwrapper.
