First edition thus: the drawings had originally appeared in the 1899 edition - from the publishers' Note: ''Most of the designs appeared as line drawings in an edition issued by the present publishers in 1899, but they have been worked over, revised, and coloured by the artist, while some entirely new designs have been added.''

Top edge gilt.Contemporary (1909) gift inscription on front pastedown. Free endpapers tanned. Faint mark to rear cover. Very good indeed.

Illustrated with 12 full page colour plates, 2 full page black and white illustrations and 7 chapter headings and tail-piecesby Arthur Rackham. A lovely near fine copy, the binding clean and square, the gilt remaining exceptionally bright. The contents, with some offsetting to the illustrated endpapers and mild toning to the closed text block edge, are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's marks. Complete with the very good rubbed and nicked dustwrapper that is a little chipped at the tips of the darkened spine not affecting the text. The front panel with the publisher's "cancelled" stamp over the price to the front panel, the original 7/6 net price remains to the spine. A very attractive example, scarce in the original dustwrapper. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
