Bound in pictorial boards.

by Werner, Jane and Williams, Garth
New York. Simon and Schuster. 1951. Bound in pictorial boards. Tall 4to. First edition. Illustrated throughout with colour vignettes, decorations, etc by Garth Williams. Widely regarded as one of the most charming fairy books ever produced, this title remains quite elusive and desireable. Rather obvious repairs to spine strip particularly at front hinge which has been coloured in with a green filler. Covers and corners somewhat rubbed with portions of original glassine lacking. Previous owners small name and ink to title page. Despite the hinge work this is still a very bright, crisp, serviceable copy. (Inventory #: 8467)
