This beautifully illustrated deluxe edition is bound in cream vellum. The book is superbly and generously illustrated by Charles Robinson. There are 18 tint-in plates that are thrillingly fresh and atmospheric together with many fabulously charming drawings and etchings. The vellum cover is a little down-at-heel with marks, scuffing, wear along the edges and corners. Both front and back covers are slightly buckled. The corners are very shelf/ storage worn. The bodies of the covers despite being very marked are resolutely strong. The front cover is bravely bold. The spine has a small open wound to the top right hand corner. The spine is worn and faded but is stoic and firm. The paper trims are faded, foxed. Inside, there are splashes of foxing through the book - but the illustrations and plates are enchanting, vivid and moody. The other illustrations are sweetly coy in their freshness. The protective sheets are complete and firmly attached. The pages have handling and user marks. They are firmly affixed, complete, clear, secure and assured. The book may be read with complete confidence and owned with real joy. fk. Book Condition: Good. Binding: Hardcover.
