About this Item
A very early edition by Cicely Mary Barker with her famous color illustrations of fairies. Twenty-four color plates inside depicting a flower of summer with a fairie and a short poem. Collectors will be impressed with the condition of this book and dust jacket. The book measures approximately 4 1/4 in. By 5 1/2 in. The back of the jacket has twelve previous publications by the author, the latest being published in 1948, making this title's publication date sometime in the late 1940s. The jacket is whole (no tears or chips) and retains the original publisher's price of 3/- net. There is a small pencil notation (easily erasable) at the top of the inside flap which is probably an early price mark of an antiquarian book store. The front flap of the jacket has the name of the international branches of the publisher, Blackie & Son Limited - the UK, India, and Canada. The rear flap of the dust jacket is blank. The book itself has a color plate by the author mounted on the front. Black titles and black checker squares at each corner of the plate. Remarkably clean - no names, writing, or marks in book. Pages are not numbered. Dust jacket and book are in Near Fine condition. Very scarce in this nice condition. ; 4 1/4 in. x 5 1/2 in. Seller Inventory # 122157
