Collected and Edited by Joseph Jacobs. Frontispiece, eight full page plates, and many illustrations in the text, by Dickson Batten, as well as a proof of the binding design from the small paper copies and a duplicate suite in brown ink. First edition, No 79 of 160 copies on [large-paper] Japanese vellum, signed by the publisher. 8vo., original boards. Uncut. London: David Nutt, 1894 [i.e., 1893.
A very attractive special issue, not dissimilar in format to the same publisher’s The Happy Prince and other Tales published five years’ earlier.
Corners rather bruised and some light overall soiling to the binding, but a very good copy.
