About This Item
London and Edinburgh: T. N. Foulis, 1912. First Edition Thus. Decorated Cloth. Very Good. N.d., circa 1912. 12mo. 17.5 by 11.5 cm. [5], 152, [4] pp. Six plates, including title/frontis, this being one of two double paged. Five of these plates are full page King illustrations, which are delightful, and epitomize the style most associated with her. Several leaves near back have closed tears of some length, probably the result of inept cutting of the leaves. Spine darkened, and some foxing/soiling of the boards otherwise. Half title and last leaf heavily toned and foxed. Generally clean elsewhere.
