THE ROSE FAIRIES

First edition, first printing. Original green cloth with gilt titles to the spine and upper board with an illustration onlay to the upper board. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrated with 12 colour plates and further black and white drawings throughout by Hope Dunlap. A very good copy, the binding square and firm with some rubbing to the extremities. The contents, with a little spotting to the early pages and a short (1cm) closed tear to the margin of the illustration facing page 156 (not affecting the illustration itself), are otherwise clean throughout and without inscriptions or stamps.

A collection of six beautifully illustrated original fairy stories.
