xv, [i], 211, [1]pp., 18mo. With a half-title "The Juvenile Englishman s Library I," illustrations and decorations by William Bell Scott, though seemingly uncredited other than an "S" on the last image; short split in the middle of the contents leaf, text intelligible, and a couple of minor spots. Still a nice copy in contemporary half maroon roan; slight wear at spine ends. Contemporary inscription on endpaper, "Minnia Pellew with every kind wish from E.J. Fowell." First edition of an extraordinary little book, a thoroughgoing fairy tale full of foundling children, much magic, and considerable wit. The pseudonymous-author conceit is itself charming, with William Churne appropriated from the pages of a poem by Richard Corbet, the seventeenth century bishop who lamented the passage of the fairy kingdom from the lore of England. Churne is here said to have returned after two hundred and fifty years to see if "a race that has been glutted with Peter Parley, and Penny Magazines, and such like stores of (so called) useful knowledge" can still interest itself in "the utter impossibilities of a Tale of Enchantment." Osborne Collection, p. 920 (they also produced a reprint in 1968). A later edition is also described in Osborne, pp. 376-77, with a note that the story was an inspiration for Rudyard Kipling. Brian Alderson, "Some Notes on James Burns as a Publisher of Children s Books," Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library, Vol. 76, No. 3 (1994) calls this a "modestly momentous work," and remarks its probable influence on Thackeray.

Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Good. First Edition. Hardback. Small 8vo. pp xv, 212. 14 cms by 10. Said to be the first published fantasy for children. Written under the name 'William Churne of Staffordshire' with a whimsical introduction saying he was born 250 years ago and mentioning Bishop Richard Corbet who had conferred on him the title of Registrar-General to the Fairies. The little book tells the story of the spoilt Prince Eigenwillig (Self-willed), who is wrenched away from his doting parents by the fairy Abracadabra. She rolls him into a rubber ball and bounces him to Fairyland. Illustrated headpieces to each chapter and illustrated title page and tailpiece of a fairy. Soundly rebound in half brown leather with marbled boards, covers slightly scuffed but very good; text has occasional slight foxing.
