Description
Small4to, XXXVI, 153pp. Brilliant red paper hardcover with black quarter cloth binding and blue artwork on front board with title in blue on the firm flat spine with chocolate brown non price-clipped d/w with yellow decoration and title on front board, both in fine as-new condition now protected in clear archival covering, very attractive unmarked ep’s and brilliant b/w and colour drawing throughout, devoid of any foxing or prior owner damage. A most beautiful rendition of this famous tale about a carved puppet becoming a boy whose nose grows longer with each spoken falsehood. The outstanding artwork rivals that of the great Arthur Rackham.
