Description
Cr4to, V, 461pp. Hardcover in deep brown paper boards, decorated heavily in gilt with a titled firm spine despite the large text-block, bearing no signs of wear, plus an equally fine, non clipped gold and green d/w protected in clear archival covering, internal text and all illustrations, coloured and otherwise, are in pristine condition as are the clean, light-green endpapers bearing no prior owner identifiers and thereby the volume is in an obviously fine, as-new state overall. Maria Tatar, a leading scholar in the field of folklore and children’s literature, has gathered together over forty Grimm stories from the those collected nearly two centuries ago by these two famous German brothers with the finest of artwork as well. Put simply, the most beautiful of books, for both advanced children and adult collectors alike.
