Zustand: Near fine. Third edition of this collection of adventure stories, translated and adapted for children by a variety of primarily women authors, selected by Andrew Lang. These true tales of adventure include Casanova's escape from the Doge's palace, Leif Erikson's voyage to North America, and Cervantes's escape from corsa…irs. Typical for Lang's edited collections, the work to adapt and translate these stories has primarily been accomplished by women with whom he worked, duly credited in the preface, though not the title page. This is a gorgeous copy of a title highly sought for its pictorial cloth binding. 7.25'' x 4.75''. Original blue pictorial cloth elaborately stamped in gilt. All edges gilt, black coated endpapers. Illustrated in black and white throughout by various artists, including tissue-guarded frontispiece by H.J. Ford. One page of ads at rear. xvi, 337, [3] pages. Faint evidence of erasure mark on front fly leaf; ink gift inscription dated "Christmas 1897" to recto of frontispiece. Only a bit of edgewear.
