The story follows the adventures of two young princes, Prince Giglio and Prince Bulbo, who are both vying for the hand of the beautiful Princess Angelica. However, their plans are thwarted by the wicked fairy Blackstick, who has her own designs on the throne. Along the way, the princes encounter a host of colorful characters, including a talking rose, a wise old fairy, and a bumbling king. The book is filled with humor, adventure, and whimsy, making it a delightful read for both children and adults". Size: 16mo. William Thackery (illustrator). Book.

London: Smith, Elder & Co. 1851. Square 8vo. Contemporary half-calf over marbled boards, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, marbled edges; pp. [iv], 87, title with tinted lithographic vignette, tinted lithographic frontispiece and 13 tinted lithographic plates, all by Thackeray; light wear to extremities, spine a little sunned an…d with hinges weakened at head; internally, apart from very light marginal toning a clean and fresh copy; provenance: contemporary Glasgow bookseller's label inside front cover, contemporary engraved armorial bookplate C. J. Tennant Dunlop underneath.Second edition of a delightful social satire about the English travelling to and along the Rhine. The critic for The Times launched a rather strongly worded attack on this book in his 1850 review, criticising the author's motives in writing for profit (a charge Thackeray happily accepted) and for presenting rather unsavoury characters. Ironically the first edition sold out on review day and this second edition was hastily arranged by the publishers.
