First Edition
Hardcover. First Edition, First Printing. pp. 201, + [one leaf of a musical score and poem]. Slim 8vo., measuring 5.75" x 8.5". Lovely illustrated wood-block frontispiece. Adorned with many additional in-text and full-page wood-block illustrations, head-and-tail pieces, and vignettes. Publisher's original light-gray cloth over boards with maroon lettering to the spine, and front board. Light bumps to the spine ends, and tips, spine lettering has slighty faded. A few light spots of scattered foxing to front endpapers, and foredge. Text-block remains thankfully clean, and unmarked with firm, sound binding. A lovely first printing of this most charming English children's fantasy. Overall, very good+. This is a story about the last gnomes in Britain. They are honest-to-goodness gnomes, none of your baby, fairy-book tinsel stuff, and they live by hunting and fishing, like the animals and birds, which is only proper and right. This story concerns their exploration of the Folly brook, on whose banks they dwell, and of their search for Cloudberry, their long-lost brother, who years ago went up the Folly and never returned. You may not believe in the Little People, but that is because most fairy books portray miniature men and women with ridiculous tinsel wings, doing all sorts of impossible things with flowers and cobwebs. That sort of make-believe is all right for some people, but it won't do for you and me.
