About this Item

375 p., clean and unmarked within on strong paper mildly age-toned, sa little darker on gutters and end pages; former owner's name on upper edge of front end page; lovely b&w ill., many full-page; in absence of d.j. the blue boards with still clear gilt lettering and images are bumped on corners and rubbed at crown and foot of spine, with small ding on fore-edge of front board. Wonderful selection including the poem by Hilaire Belloc that acts as foreword: "Child , do not throw this book about; [.] Your little hands were made to take The better things and leave the worse ones. They also may be used to shake The Massive Paws of Elder Persons," etc.
