The Now-A-Days Fairy Book

First edition; presumed first printing- October, 1911. Book is, overall, in very good condition. Cover has wear - some fading and light soiling, minor chipping at corners, more pronounced at top and bottom edges of spine. Pages and color illustrations are in excellent condition. the only fault we could find on pages is a very small tear on page 75/76. (see photo). Otherwise, no tears, no folds, no marks and no foxing.
