Original pale green cloth. Gilt lettering and ornate design to front board and spine. TEG. With 25 coloured illustrations ( all present ) by C E Brock. First Brock illustrated edition. The book is bright and well preserved. The boards are very clean - much cleaner than is normally found. The gilt on the front board are bright and bold. The upper corners are inconsequentially bruised. The spine is unfaded and sharp. The pages are bright. The uncut closed page edges are sound - the top edge gilt is soiled. The binding is tight - no cracked hinges. No loose pages. There are no previous ownership inscriptions. A very nice copy.
