  • Hardcover
  • first
204 Pages. Stated First Edition. No dust jacket.
This book of tales comes with red boards and a gold design on the cover as well as gold lettering on the spine. The design is well-preserved, though the spine lettering is fading a bit. Otherwise, the exterior on the back cover has some wearing areas on it, there is a crease at the bottom of the spine and some mold stains on the bottom edge of the closed book.
The interior book has some browning and mold staining inside the front and rear covers, but otherwise has no extraneous markings and thus has well-preserved and readable printing and the bindings remain tight and sound.

This book will be carefully wrapped up and then boxed and sent right away to you from here in New Jersey and comes to you with our absolute appreciation for your interest and your order.
