Hardcover. Condition: Good. Appears to be the First Edition. Original light blue cloth, large 12mo ( 7.5" x 5" ), pp.170. Illustrated ( 12 black and white plates ). Undated but a neat Sunday School prize inscription to the front endpaper is dated January 13th 1912, so I suspect this is the first edition. If so a good copy of a scarce title. The cloth is clean and sound with bright spine gilt, a little light wear and faint minor marks but nothing serious. Contents moderately foxed, light in places, blotchy in some. Owners name ( and prize inscription ) to front endpaper. One text page has a large browned patch that appears to be a " shadow " from a piece of loose paper no longer present. Binding generally tight but last packet of leaves at rear have loose binding cords, text a little shaky here. Overall good.
