By Father Tuck
(London): Raphael Tuck & Sons, 1904. Father Tuck takes us from "A is for Admiral" to Z - "Zealously doing his duty." Slightly cheating in my book, but compensated for by the 3 color lithograph full pages. The front cover identifies this as one of Father Tuck's Wide Awake series. The book is in good condition only, with chipping along the spine and corners, but the text is clean, and the color pages are fresh and bright. Scalloped outer edge, presumably a nautical "wave" motif. Scarce, with only one copy for sale online, and 4 libraries holding copies on Worldcat.. 37 cm. Unpaginated. 6 leaves. Color and sepia-toned illustrations, color lithographed cover.
