The Secret Garden
Heinemann, 1923.
Deluxe issue, in special publisher's binding. 8vo. Original publisher's green morocco over limp boards with gilt vignettes and elaborate decoration to the spine. Gilt titles, top edge gilt and decorative endpapers. Eight full page colour plates by Charles Robinson. A very good copy, clean and crisp with gilt bright, some fading to the spine and extremities. Charming mermaid bookplate and gift inscription to the verso of the front endpaper.
A most unusual and attractive issue, being a page for page reprint of the first edition, but in a special binding with gilded top edge. There were no 'deluxe' or special issues of the first edition and this is the only copy in such a binding that we have encountered.
