IN THE SCARCE ORIGINAL DUSTWRAPPER
The Brown Fairy Book
Longmans, 1904.
First edition. Original brown cloth elaborately decorated in gilt, in scarce printed dustwrapper. All edges gilt. Pictorial endpapers. Eight full page colour plates and numerous line drawings by H. J Ford. A fine copy, clean and bright, in a very good dustwrapper with a little light chipping to the head of the spine, general wear to the other corners and a closed tear to the upper cover.
The ninth in the Lang fairy book series. The fairy stories in this book come from all corners of the world. They are traditional tales passed from generation to generation and translated and gathered in this collection by Andrew Lang and his wife.
Lang's fairy books are most uncommon in dustwrappers.
