KPC 040404 LOC. This is a very unusual edition of The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit - it is taller and wider than any editions I can find. The story seems essentially the same but the illustrations, though similar in content, are all different and appear to me to be chromolithographs. There is no publisher and no publication date. The front cover illustration (framed in a 3.5 x 5.25 inch box) shows a rabbit sitting on bench, legs crossed, eating a carrot. The remainder of the front cover, outside that box, is a rural scene with strangely pink clouds. Inside there are 14 pages, each framed in a decorative device. On one side of the facing pages is a bright chromo, that looks very different than the standard illustrations, and text. On the facing page are black and white images that almost appear to be grey scale reproductions of the illustrations in the original book. In the center is a full page chromo of two adult and three baby bunnies. I'm guessing this is a pirated edition. The front and back board are present but the spine broke so the two boards are taped together with six aging strips of "clear" tape.…

Store description
We had an open shop in the Northwest section of Philadelphia in the Chestnut Hill, Mt Airy neighborhood for 18 1/2 years. It was in a beautiful 1882 train station designed by the noted architect, Frank Furness. In August of 2014, we closed that shop but continue to sell on-line out of our home in Williamsburg, PA. We'd love to have you visit our 8,000 plus books, by appointment.
