1919 The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse
What Our Customers Say...
Description
Colour Plates, Early Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
A very early printing of the first edition, with no date to the title page, first edition endpapers of Plate XV in Quinby, and 'N' to 'London' on the title page, but with 'Ltd' to the publisher's imprint.
'The Tale of Johnny Town-Mouse' is a charming tale based off Aesop's brilliant fable 'The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse', following a country mouse and a city mouse who visit one another in their own homes.
Beautifully illustrated in colour in Potter's typical style, with a colour frontispiece and twenty-six colour plates.
Collated, complete.
