MACKENZIE, Thomas / RANSOME, Arthur

RANSOME, Arthur Aladdin in Rhyme retold by Arthur Ransome

Nisbet, 1920.

First edition. 4to. Publisher's pictorial cloth with lettering and designs in red and blue. Top edge gilt. Pictorial endpapers with striking silhouette drawings. 12 wonderful art nouveau style colour plates and each page decorated with silhouette and line drawings. A near fine copy of this stunning book.

This book is a wonderful co-operation of Ransome telling the story of Aladdin and his lamp in rhyme and beautiful decorations by Thomas Mackenzie. Yorkshire born artist Mackenzie wrote to a friend about the book, "there are mistakes in it due to inexperience and immaturity which I hope you will close your eyes to." Despite the artist's criticism of his work the book is a delight, with strong lines and colours perfectly complementing the Oriental tale.

Bookplate of Raymond Beddow on front endpaper.
