7 1/2" x 9 3/4" Approx. Undated, but with gift inscription of xmas 1912, 288 pages. + 24 full page colour illustrations ( inc Aris,3 by Louis Wain, Horsfall ect .)there are many b/w illustrations (inc Louis Wain , Renouf, Ethel Parkinson ect). Original decorated paper--over--hardboard ,front is a little girl in blue & white dress / bonnet with wicker basket of small xmas tree, teddy, book, doll. sitting on the sholder of young boy in a sailor uniform with (hms) "intrepid" on hat, crossing a snowy? street.on the rear is an advert for Allenburys' Foods ( for babies/children) ,Binding is a little rubbed,with sign's of spine being reglued at some time, so strong joints. Contents ,good and tight, only a couple of b/w illusrations have be hand coloured , 2 of the collour printed illustrations have a tear (NOT the Wains).********* it's now getting very hard to find a copy with so many colour plates (early editions had less) as 20 years ago print dealers were buying them all and removing the best ones as each were worth much more than the whole book.
