About this Item

Good to Very Good; light soil on cover; some flaking of paint on spine cloth; a large neat name, 1909, pencilled on free front endpaper. Pages very good, solid and straight. 33 nursery rhymes with music (melody line in treble clef and simple bass clef). There were earlier editions of Mother Goose's Melodies, but without the actual melodies. FSM's proficiency with music (see his "Field Guide to Wild Birds and their Music", 1904, in which he compares melody lines to hundreds of examples from folk and classical music) plus his fine art make this edition a real treasure. We ship all books well protected in cardboard plus. This large book, with the weight of the box, means international shipment may require additional postage. Hardcover, boards 24.5 cm wide by 31 cm tall, np; in tan cloth, gilt titles and little boy blue blowing his horn on front. NOTE: We have a copy of the edition in brown cloth with large paper pastedown, a later reprint; this copy is about 3mm wider & taller overall, and the paper is brighter. This copy has decorated endpapers, sort of a wallpaper design of tiny flowers repeated. . Seller Inventory # 664032
