Complete set of 23 volumes of the tales of Beatrix Potter. In a cream, wooden bookcase with 'Peter Rabbit's Book Shelf' sticker to top panel. All hardback, with colour pictorial onlays to the front boards, in colour illustrated jackets; colour illustrated endpapers. The title sticker on the shelf has been partly torn off, and there are a few marks to the shelf panels. Many volumes' jackets are chipped at spine ends (some with a little loss), and all are slightly marked, stained and/or yellowed around the edges. Boards are generally clean, some with a little yellowing to edges. All internally clean and bright, and all with Potter's original illustrations in colour throughout. Also comes with a contemporary 'Peter Rabbit' merchandise pamphlet-catalogue, yellowed. A very cute collection. This is a heavy set and may require additional postage if being shipped outside of Europe. 12mo. Illustrated.
