THE POND FAIRIES

Early printing. Publisher's original pale green paper covered boards, with dark green titles and illustration to the upper board and spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with six tipped in colour plates and line drawings on every page by Margaret Tarrant. A near very good copy, the binding firm with a touch of rubbing and toning to the extremities. The contents, somewhat spotted to the closed text block edge and with a few spots to some page margins, are otherwise clean and without inscriptions or stamps. Complete with the rubbed, nicked and darkened dustwrapper that has several short closed tears and small chips with a couple of small pieces of tape to the underside.

One of the many popular, small format 'Fairy Book' collaborations between the poet and writer Marion St. John Webb and illustrator Margaret Tarrant.
