About This Item
London : George Routledge and Sons, 1885. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 7" by 4". Kate Greenaway. A first edition of this spelling book by William Mavor. Illustrated throughout by Kate Greenaway, the work offers "a progressive series of easy and familiar lessons" for children, and is a charming example of Victorian educational and children's books. In paper-covered boards. Externally sound, there is markings and wear to the baords, as well as further wear to the joints and backstrip and strain to hinges. Internally, the pages are generally firmly bound, with some strain to certain areas, and are generally bright and clean throughout, with the odd handling mark and spot Very Good Indeed
