The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes

A charming early edition of this much loved children's work, illustrated in colour throughout. An early printing of this work, dated c1912 due to the presence of first edition endpapers, but no date to the title page. Timmy Tiptoes was first published in 1911. 'The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes' follows a squirrel who is believed to be a nut-thief by his friend, who then imprison him in a hollow tree with the hope that we will confess. Illustrated with twenty-seven colour plates by Potter. Collated, complete. In the original pictorial cloth. Externally smart, with slight loss and lifting to the backstrip and the odd mark to the rear board. Slight bumping to the extremities. Internally firmly bound. Pages bright and clean with just the odd handling mark. Very Good.
