Joan in Flowerland by Margaret Tarrant, Lewis Dutton - 1936

London and New York: Frederick Warne & Co., Ltd, 1936 A good copy of the first reprint without wrapper in original decorative cloth binding. With decorative endpapers, half title, frontispiece, title page, and text with 15 further colour plates. The blue cloth binding is very clean and bright. The corners have light bumping and the spine is slightly faded with some pulling and light wear at the joints. The back board is slightly faded towards the top and has a couple of small marks towards the bottom. There is some light marking to the front free endpaper and a repaired edge tear at the base. There are also repaired edge tears (each about a couple of cms long) to the bottom margins of pp 7 and 9 and to the side edge of the title page. Otherwise the contents are very clean and in good order with a very occasional spot. The plate at page 39 has a rumpled corner.
