[from the front matter] Various chapters are devoted to descriptions of a spider, an ant, a snail, a worker bee, a worm, a mole, a butterfly, and a bat. Just a delightful collection of stories that will charm and the child, as well as many hurdles. This is a sequel to JOHN AND WENDY AND THINGS (1946), both examples of juvenile natural history.

Gilbert Rumbold was a prolific illustrator in the 1930s, especially known for his Art Deco inspired illustrations. He created beautiful fashion illustrations, decorative maps and - those 1930s obsessions - motor cars, ships and airplanes. It is, however, the Savoy Cocktail book for which he is most well known. The book offered here appears less typical of his work, though he did illustrate a book called THE ORIGIN OF LIFE.

His signature to page 6 with the phrase "Here's How".With the errata slip to page 25 as called for.A first edition, first impression, with the pagination to the preliminary leaves.The Savoy Cocktail book was written by Henry Craddock, one of the most famous bartenders of the 1920s and 1930s. He had an eighteen year tenure at the Savoy Hotel in London which is when he wrote this collection of 750 Cocktails. Craddock is credited with creating many classic cocktails such as the White Lady and the Corpse Reviver #2.Craddock is also known for founding the United Kingdom Bartenders' Guild in 1934. To the introduction Craddock writes on cocktails suitable for a prohibition country, which relates to his personal history. Craddock was originally from America and left to the United Kingdom during the Prohibition.With an historical introduction regarding cocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails and a list of the cocktail recipes in alphabetical order. Craddock separates the work by types of cocktails, sours, toddies, flips, slings, highballs etc. The second part of this work regards wines.

London: Constable & Company. 1930. 8vo. Original cloth-backed boards, lettered in gilt to spine, attractive Art Deco design to the upper cover in green, black, silver and grey, decorative end papers; pp. 288 (the first issue with pagination beginning from preliminaries), with the recipe for 'Bacardi Cocktail' tipped in to p. 25 as issued, Art Deco coloured illustrations throughout by Gilbert Rumbold; wear to edges of boards, minor wear to cloth at hinges of spine, a little rubbing to gilt lettering, but otherwise boards are uncommonly bright and clean; very light spotting to edges, some minor spotting to preliminaries and endpapers; near fine. The true first edition of this celebrated cocktail book in unusually bright condition.Sought after by collectors for both its recipes and the fine Art Deco design, some cocktails included are the 'Corpse Reviver', 'four of these taken in swift succession will unrevive the corpse again'. This drink was intended to be 'taken before 11a.m., or whenever steam and energy are needed'. The 'Earthquake Cocktail', whose greatest quality is that 'if there should happen to be an earthquake on when you are drinking it, it won't matter'. The 'Rattlesnake Cocktail', 'so called because it will either cure Rattlesnake bite, or kill Rattlesnakes, or make you see them'. One cocktail invented by Harry Craddock at the Savoy Hotel on 29th February 1928, in celebration of the Leap Year was the 'Leave it to me Cocktail'. It is said 'to have been responsible for more [marriage] proposals than any other cocktail that has ever been mixed'. Perhaps, this is not surprising with its lethal mix of brandy, Vermouth, Grenadine, and gin. Craddock begins his foreword by stating, 'If everyone knew even a little about the absorbing subject of absorbing alcohol there would be even less Prohibition in the United States of America than there is now.' Craddock was obviously willing to tailor some recipes for his friends across the pond with a section dedicated to 'Cocktails Suitable for a Prohibition Country', but all of the recipes contain alcohol in some form with the 'Special (Rough) Cocktail' even containing '1 Dash of Absinthe'. Craddock claims, however, that the alcohol for these was easy enough to attain. A wonderfully designed book evoking the spirit and gaiety of the 1930s; this copy remains particularly bright.
