About This Item
London, England: Frederick Warne and Co.Ltd. Facsimile Reprint . Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good+. Greenaway, Kate. FIRST BRITISH FACSIMILE EDITION 20th-century reprint (no date in book, but pre-ISBN) of this facsimile edition of Greenaway's 1881 version of "Mother Goose," with her charming illustrations of Victorian children & ladies accompanying each rhyme. In 53 pages, glossy paper-over-boards with design to front that matches that on DJ. Both are in VG+ condition: better than VG, not quite Near Fine: completely clean, binding straight & strong, pages creamy white with a whisper of tanning, but unmarked, though there are some foxed spots to all endpapers & some on exterior. The DJ is clipped at both ends of front flap, showing extremely slight edgewear. A lovely little copy! Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping if ordered by 2 pm weekdays (Pacific); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next day.
