Aggiungi al carrellohardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Publication: Glasgow and London, Blackie, 1975 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 120. Condition Report Near Fine. The glossy pictorial boards remain remarkably bright and clean, showing only the slightest hints of rubbing to the extremities and very light bumping at the spine ends. The binding is tight, firm…, and square, with no lean. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and completely free from foxing, tearing, or inscriptions. The text block edges display only faint, superficial dusting. Overall, this is a highly attractive, carefully preserved copy of a children's edition that is typically prone to heavy handling and wear. Catalogue Note This copy is a first edition, easily identifiable by the single copyright date with no subsequent printings noted. Issued in laminated pictorial boards without a separate dust jacket, the binding features the distinctive, intricate artwork of the acclaimed illustrator Errol le Cain, whose stylised designs elevate the volume significantly. Due to its nature as a children's book, finding a true first edition in such well-preserved condition is increasingly uncommon. The majority of surviving copies tend to exhibit heavy wear or library markings, making this a scarce find on the open market for collectors of Le Cainâs illustrative work or regional folklore. A captivating collection of traditional Manx folk tales, beautifully adapted by Zena M. Carus for younger readers. The volume weaves together twenty enchanting stories from the Isle of Man, including "The Glashtin of Derbyhaven," "The Buggane and the Weavers," and "The Black Dog of Peel." Perfectly complemented by the striking, atmospheric illustrations of renowned artist Errol le Cain, this collection brings the rich, mythical heritage of the Isle of Man to life with vivid imagination. Errol le Cain (illustratore).
