Item description from seller

Lovely turn-of-the-century (c. 1900, no date in book) edition of 14 beloved fairy tales by Andersen, most complemented with a full-page watercolor plate (11 total - all intact), + a full-color Frontispiece by acclaimed British children's book artist Honor C. Appleton (1879-1951). In 179 pages, with lovely duotone endpapers also illustrated by Ms.Appleton, as well as many of her pen-and-ink drawings throughout. Oversized (quarto) hardcover has brown cloth over boards with embossed black lettering to front & spine. Condition is Good: generally quite clean, with perhaps a random spot or smudge.The plates are . all intact & clean: only one has any edgewear.The frontispiece, however, seems to have been torn close to the binding & taped; remnants of old Scotch tape in that crease & some wrinkling to opposite side; image is still lovely! Other flaws: mild corner bumping, slight rubbing, some surface spotting & soil to both boards. All in all, a decent copy of a gorgeous edition with lovely illustrations Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive from us, never "stock" image of books we don't actually have! All orders processed before 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time) ship that same day; later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day. SORRY: book is too large for any expedited domestic or international shipping without preapproval of extra postage.…
