The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes.

POTTER, Beatrix.

Published by London: Frederick Warne & Co., 1911

First edition. "It is believed that The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes was written primarily for American children because they would be familiar with both chipmunks and bears. They would also be familiar with grey squirrels" (Linder, p. 208). There were two impressions of the first edition, both with the year 1911 on the title page. The first impression was published in October, with the second in November. These impressions "are believed to be indistinguishable" (Linder). The impressions were issued in both dark green and brown boards, without priority. Linder, p. 429; Quinby 20. Duodecimo. Colour frontispiece and 26 full-page illustrations, line vignette on title by Beatrix Potter. Original dark brown boards, lettering to spine and front cover in white, front cover with pictorial paper label, colour illustrated endpapers. Ownership inscription on front free endpaper verso. Minor wear to spine ends, light foxing to edges, contents clean, short split to lower gutter of frontispiece. A very good copy. Seller Inventory # 181271
