A children’s classic featuring unabridged text, with color reproductions
of the illustrations that accompanied the book’s historical first
printing. Most of these illustrations are drawn from the period known as
the ‘golden age’ of illustration and are really lovely. Bright cover
designs are by a variety of highly sought after cover illustrators and
bring a contemporary flair to a classic book.
The pretty cover designs are printed directly onto brightly hued
(bonded) leather, and they feature embossed foil finishes, decorative
end papers and gilt edged pages. Plus a cross-grain book mark.
++To my eye: the cover has a green look. To the camera eye: it looked a bit blue.
