Dorothy Rees and L. A. Govey. Publisher's original blue cloth, titled in midnight blu…e with clock vignette to upper board, in the original pictorial dust-jacket by W. Marks. Prize inscription to one John Styles in blue ink to front free end-paper. Loss to lower section of jacket, and to spine-tips, small closed tear to upper joint, slight soiling to upper panel. Corners slightly bumped, binding square and strong. Contents clean and quite bright. A very good copy in good jacket. A rare toy book, illustrated by Florence Harrison and E. Dorothy Rees. Florence Harrison (1877-1955) was an accomplished illustrator of children's book in both Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau styles. She illustrated works by Christina Rossetti, William Morris, and Alfred Tennyson. Her illustration to this volume evokes the fin-de-siécle poster style that she was celebrated for. E. Dorothy Rees (1891-1967) was a similarly accomplished writer and illustrator of children's books, best known for her illustrations of small animals and little girls. A rather sweet rarity. Scarce. We locate one copy of this edition world-wide, at the National Library of Scotland.
