Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

In good condition, here is an elegant first edition copy of The Pink Fairy Book, edited by Andrew Lang and part of the coloured Fairy Book series. A beautiful collection of fairy tales. Scarce and highly sought-after, these are becoming increasingly hard to get hold of. Richly illustrated with superb black line drawings throughout by HJ Ford. With a few condition points to note, detailed below. Originally published in 1897, this copy is one of those first editions by Longmans, Green and Co., London. Dramatic gilt decoration to the boards. Lang had grown up with a love of myths and fables and towards the end of the 1880s he began to collect and publish some of his favourite tales. The Blue Fairy Book, was the result, published in 1889 it met with great critical acclaim. The Red Fairy book appeared in Christmas of the following year. Lang went on to produce a series of twelve collections of fairy tales, published between 1889 and 1910. Each volume is distinguished by its own colour. In all, 437 tales from a broad range of cultures and countries are presented. The pink fairy book is comprised of forty-one Japanese, Scandinavian, and Sicilian tales. There are some classic stories in this collection including The Snow Queen and The Fir Tree. Inside the pages have spotting scattered through the text and the occasional handling mark and brown blemish. Mildly cracked hinges to front and back, giving the front board a slight wobble. Slight gaping at gutter in a couple of places but the binding of the pages remains good and strong. Inked inscription to the half-title page. One nicked edge, and one slightly longer 1.5 cm tear to fore-edge. Pink cloth over boards have super gilt decoration to the front and spine. Having retained a strong pink to the boards. The gilt on the spine is also shiny bright. The pink on the spine has faded in comparison to the front and back. The gilt still remains bright here. A little rubbing to the corners, spine ends and joints. With two frayed holes to the cloth on the front joint, and two on the rear joint (see photos). So with a bit of wear, but overall remaining a lovely, tight and square copy. H 19 cm x W 14 cm, 360 pages, 0.6 kg. I post new stock, updates and news to Instagram @bumperboxofdelights Sold as literature, not children's literature. …

Thank you for your interest. I have been selling online since 2014 but started in the book trade back in 1993. I specialise in Jane Austen, The Brontë sisters, Victorian and Regency literature. Also decorative bindings, cookery, natural history and the Golden Age of Illustration. Whilst having these as specialisms I aim for my shop to reflect and stock the broadest range of high quality finds on any subject and in the past have stocked titles as wide-ranging as Oppenheimer documents to early Titanic publications. Whilst new to Abebooks I have over 1,000 five-star reviews on Etsy (where I am a Star Seller), and over 4,000 followers on Instagram @bumperboxofdelights I am a proud member of the IOBA.
