First edition. Publisher's original green cloth illustrated in gilt to the upper board and spine, in the Charles Robinson illustrated dustwrapper. Top edge gilt. Illustrated endpapers, delicate line drawings throughout the text and full page plates in black and white by Charles Robinson. Two pages of publisher's adverts at the rear. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt exceptionally bright and fresh. The contents, with a previous owner's bookplate to the blank front free endpaper, are otherwise clean throughout. Complete with the scarce, very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that has some marks and stains to the upper panel and underside at the edges, and a few small chips at the head of the spine. An attractive example.
A collection of verse for children, exquisitely illustrated by Charles Robinson.
