No title page or table of contents, but no signs of their having been removed either. Former owner's name in pen on front endpaper. No publication date, but research places it c. 1900. Hardcover book has a stitched binding, green cloth-wrapped spine with colorful paper over boards to front cover. Condition is downgraded to only Fair due to heavy edgewear, binding cloth has split, corners worn down to underlying boards. Pages are fairly heavily tanned & becoming brittle. But the stories read as wonderfully as always & the illustrations are lovely & unique!Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
