What Our Customers Say...

Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

A very scarce first edition.

Beautifully illustrated throughout.

Baroness Orczy's wonderful collection of old Hungarian fairy tales, a charming collection that includes some of the country's best loved tales.

This collection includes eight tales in total; 'Uletka and the White Lizard', 'The Suitors of the Fire Fly', 'The Twin Hunchbacks', 'Mr Cuttlefish's Love Story', 'Forget-me-not', 'The Enchanted Cat', 'The Wishing Skin', and 'That's Not True'.

Orczy is best remembered today for the invention of her Scarlet Pimpernel, an English fop who helps to save aristocrats from Madame Guillotine during the French Revolution. 

Illustrated by her husband, Montagu Barstow.
