About this Item
Thin 4to. Unpaginated. Printed cloth spine; pictorial paper boards. Pages printed on one side only, with a marvelous woodcut-type illustration. Each letter of the alphabet has its fairy-related verse. The title page shows a thoughtful Merlin, pen in hand, and pondering a group of fairies, whilst his open book rests on a lectern incorporating two tiny dragons. Unusual, charming and uncommon. A very good copy with only a trace of wear. The scarce price-clipped dustwrapper is present. It has a few short closed marginal tears, and lacks small pieces at the spine and fold tips and the lower corner of the upper panel, else gives a very good appearance. Seller Inventory # 23460
