POTTER, Beatrix The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin

F. Warne & Co., 1903.

First edition, Linder's later issue, with "by the author of Peter Rabbit" over printed on the title page. 12mo. Grey paper covered boards and spine with white lettering and pictorial onlay to the upper cover. Pictorial endpapers and colour illustrations throughout by the author. A near fine copy, with slight looseness between sections.

The second of Potter's animal tales to be published, by Warne. Rare in such excellent condition.
Leslie Linder notes that during the spring of 1903, it occurred to Beatrix Potter, or possibly Warnes, that she might design some special pictorial end-papers for her books -on which the animal characters could appear. The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin are the first time they appear, beginning the recognisable design that continued until 1918.
