1895 The Blue Fairy Book
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Illustrated
In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. All edges gilt. Ink inscription to the first blank page. 7 plates including the frontispiece, and numerous illustrations in the text. Collated complete. The Blue Fairy Book assembles a wide range of tales, with seven from the Brothers Grimm, five from Madame d'Aulnoy, three from the Arabian Nights, and four Norwegian fairytales, among other sources. It is the first volume in Lang's series of 25 Fairy Books, and so it contains some of the best-known tales. It is illustrated with delightful engravings by Henry Justice Ford (1860-1941) and George Percy Jacomb-Hood (1857-1929).
Condition
In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally smart, with a little wear to the extremities, joints and head and tail of the spine. Internally, the binding is slightly strained in a couple of places. Pages are generally clean with the odd spot, with more spotting to the first and last pages.
Very Good
