Item description from seller

A good to very good copy in the original decorative cloth binding with numerous line drawings and 61 full page colour illustrations by Randolph Caldecott. Undated but probably late 1800's. Although the title page does not say so, this was the first collection of Caldecott's pictures and songs published by Warne, and includes John Gilpin, The House that Jack Built, Elegy on the death of a mad dog, Babes in the Wood, Three Jovial Huntsmen, Sing a Song for Sixpence, Queen of Hearts and the Farmer's Boy. The binding is in very good condition. It has a part impressed picture to the front board and part impressed gilt titles to the spine. The boards have beveled edges. There is some pulling to the spine and some edge wear. It is clean apart from a little marking to the back board. Internally it looks like the endpapers are much newer as they are plain and unmarked. Contents sound and generally clean. There is the odd mark and around 5 small repaired tears affecting the bottom page edge. There is some marking to the plain pages where a colour plate on the verso partly shows through - giving darker areas. Occasional light creasing to pages. Each story is separately paginated. Book size 21cm x 23.5cm. …

Store description

We are a small online bookselling business specialising in rare and unusual books, generally published before 1900, with a focus on natural history, history, illustrated works and some literature. We are based in the beautiful Orkney Islands and have a specialist Orkney/Shetland section in our listings. We run a bookshop in Orkney - Birsay Books - where we have a wide range of stock from science fiction and fantasy to maritime and, of course, Orkney/Shetland and Scottish material. We take images of all of our books to supplement the online descriptions, and are always happy to provide more on request. When you order from us, we ensure that books are properly packed to protect their condition and we always use recorded or 'signed for' postal services for additional security. Because we are based on an island which depends on ferries and flights for shipping, we can not guarantee 'next day' delivery. We will simply get your purchase to you as quickly and safely as we can.…
