Prima edizione
First edition. Publisher's quarter decorated cloth over full-color glazed pictorial boards, corners a little worn.Small quarto (9 5/8 x 7 1/8 in; 245 x 180 mm). A few illustrations hand-colored by a child. Closed tear to bottom edge of page. 17. Early ink presentation dated "Christmas 1905" on front paste-down. Illustrated throughout in black and white and color, with fifteen drawings by Louis Wain, and an unrecorded text drawing by Arthur Rackham (so initialed) on page 40. Unrecorded and scarce, with no copies noted in the Wain or Rackham bibliographies. Anytime an unrecorded book illustration by Arthur Rackham comes to light, it's an item for collectors to note. Buried within this book, unheralded, on page forty, is a black and white text illustration of four chickens in various states of distress as they observe, in high dudgeon and with no little annoyance, a cat within their food bucket chowing down the chicken feed. And at the lower left of the bucket, as small as can be, are Rackham's initials as typically drawn. Latimore and Haskell, and Riall make no mention of this illustration in their Rackham bibliographies, and the Arthur Rackham Society expressed no knowledge of it when we inquired. A true scarcity -- a previously unknown Rackham during his transitional period, when his fairies and goblins were emerging but had not yet fully vanquished the simple, pay-the-bills work of his early years. Arthur Rackham (1867-1939) is perhaps the most acclaimed and influential illustrator of the Golden Age of Illustration. A prolific artist even from his youth, Rackham got his start as an illustrator working for the Westminster Budget Newspaper (1892). Over the next few years, he took on more and more commissions for children's books, hitting his career high in the first three decades of the twentieth century. Rackham turned his imaginative pen to every classic-from Shakespeare to Dickens to Poe. Cf. Dale 34 and 35.

Four figure ink number (upside down) on verso of rear blank leaf. An exceptional copy. A relatively common book, but scarce in fine condition. This may well be a special presentation binding that was done at the time of publication. "This was the first of a group of wartime books sponsored by prominent people and sold to raise money for worthy causes. The most popular, it sold 604,884 copies during the two years, 1914-1916, that is was in print. The Times in an article November 21, 1914 sought to promote the cause, "The Queen's Fund," by directing the public to the display of the original drawings at the Leicester Galleries" (Hughey). The fourteen tipped-in color plates include: "So nobody can quite explain Exactly where the rainbows end" (Arthur Rackham) "True Spartan Hearts" (Edmund Dulac) "The Ant Lion" (E.J. Detmold) "A Holiday in Bed" (W. Russell Flint) There are also many black & white drawings by C.E. Brock; E.J. Detmold; Arthur Rackham; Byam Shaw; H. M. Brock; Lewis Baumer and Edmund J. Sullivan.
