Condition: Near Fine. New Edition. xxii, 467, [5 ads.]. 7.5" x 5" PLAYING WITH PREPOSTEROUS PROPORTIONS Lemuel Gulliver, finding himself a man of preposterous proportions in Jonathan Swift's beloved Gulliver's Travels [1726], provided an artistic playground for English children's book illustrators, Gordon Browne and C. E. Brock. Compiling the best illustrations from their oeuvres, A. L. Burt Company's New Edition features Gulliver flocked by ankle-height Lilliputians, whimsically bright on this copy's illustrated cloth binding, and dwarfed by a bespectacled giant in one of the five full color illustrations. This early twentieth-century copy omits "certain coarse passages which would offend the modern taste," wonderfully capturing the neutering of Swift's tale from a scathing political satire to a classic children's novel. Lightly worn corners and tips, slightly toned and rubbed spine, several pen underlines and marginalia pp. 77-80, still near fine. Publisher's full mustard yellow cloth, illustratively stamped in black, grey, and orange. Thirty-seven black and white illustrations by Gordon Browne and C. E. Brock with five original colored plates. (illustrator). …

First edition thus (first Brock illustrated editioin), published as part of Dent's series of "English Idylls". A charming book in an attractive, Art Nouveau style binding. "Our Village" is the best-known book by Mary Russell Mitford (1787 ? 1855), the English essayist, novelist, poet and dramatist. It is a series of sketches of village scenes based upon her life, and was very popular when first published. The book is accompanied by colour illustrations by C.E. Brock, well-known for his illustrations for, among others, Jane Austen. (Mitford's description of village cricket in Our Village has been called "the first major prose on the game"). In his introduction to a 1997 reprint of selections from Our Village, Ronald Blythe stated that "it is hard to know what to praise most, her style or her spirit. Both rise to heights rarely found either in the women's journalism of her day or in a woman who by every law of the time should have been crushed by adversity.". Illustrations by C.E. Brock (illustrator).…
