Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Very Good+ [Textblock Fine]. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Designed by Christopher Sandford. Illustrated by Gwenda Morgan. "Among the manuscript note-books of the brothers Grimm are a large number of the fairy-tales they collected with such tireless enthusiasm. A considerable number of these…have never been available to the general reader and are virtually unknown. Wilhelm Hansen, director of the Lippe Folk Museum, had access to the manuscripts and selected fifty of these tales for us, tales which Taylor, who made the first English translation, had described as 'most curious' and 'of great merit', but which he felt bound to suppress 'in deference to the scrupulous fastidiousness of modern taste, especially in works likely to attract the attention of youth'. Gwenda Morgan's quaint engravings seemed to compliment these folk tales to perfection." [Cock-A-Hoop]. Minor shelf/edge wear, even sunning at spine, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Purple cloth board, gilt lettering and decorative elements, frontispiece, teg. 8vo. 160pp. Illus. (b/w plates). Numbered limited edition, this being 188 of 500.

Contact seller3-star sellerHardcover. First edition. Folio. 24pp. Original red quarter cloth over color illustrated boards with red and black lettering on cover, protected by modern mylar. Decorative endpapers. Title page printed in red and black with decorative border. Rare and only edition of 'A seemingly classical gymnastics picture book, no records in… any relevant children's library. Life of a German gymnast starting at birth to the time when he establishes his own homestead. Gymnastics accompany him all through his life (Geßmann, Sport 207; the copy referenced there only has sixteen pages with cover photo of our copy presented as frontispiece.)' Chapters 4 "Hans as a soldier" and 5 "The lucky Hans" (as the victor of a gymnastic competition), seem to be missing in the copy referenced by Geßmann. Illustrated with beautiful color illustration, many full page, the book emphasizes the patriotic attitude of the time. Text in German, Gothic script. Some wear along edges of binding with light staining. Interior rubbed. Overall in good condition.
