About this Item
8vo, 214 x 140 mms., pp. [x], 269 [270 blank, 280 - 286 adverts], steel-engraved frontispiece, vignette on title-page, 24 other full-page engraved illustrations, from drawings by Reginald B. Birch, contemporary green cloth, with front cover illustration in gilt and spine in gilt, presentation inscription "Alice Lovett Staffurlt/ from/ Mother/ August 27th 89" on rector of frontispiece; front hinge cracked, corners and top and base of spine worn, somewhat sprung in binding, a fair to good copy. Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849 1924) published this, her first children's book, as a serial in the St. Nicholas Magazine between November 1885 and October 1886, and as a book by Scribner's in New York in 1886; it has probably never been out of print since then. It was, of course, successful almost beyond belief and had the effect, unfortunate or otherwise, of parents' dressing their male sons in velvet costumes. Gainsborough's 1770 portrait Blue Boy seems to have been the model. Seller Inventory # 7490
