Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Kate Greenaway (illustrator). 1st Edition. The rare large paper edition of this book, of which only 400 were printed, 17.7 x 22.5 cm. The book was originally written in 1823, with hand coloured woodcuts understood to be by R Stennet. Ruskin published this new edition with 4 extra verses added by him, Kate Greenaway supplying the additional woodcuts. The other 18 facsimile woodcuts were done by W H Hooper, and were left uncoloured, with (clever) children encouraged in the preface to colour them in themselves. This has been done in this copy to the frontispiece. Greenaway's plates are distinguishable by their gentler touch (see images for an example of the contrast). Pages are xi, 20,[3 blank, Handmade paper watermarked 1884, green cloth with gilt illustration, patterned endpapers, uncut edges. This copy has some mild signs of old damp to the covers, but internally it is in excellent condition, the page edges unopened where the verso is blank.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Anonymous (Kate Greenaway) (illustrator). 1st Edition thus. A beautiful miniature book, measuring 2.6" x 1.8" (6.8cm x 4.8cm), bound in full green calf blocked in gilt with title and decorations on upper cover. All edges gilt. This delightful tale, told in verse, was first published anonymously in 1823, with equally anonymous woodcut illustrations. In 1885, George Allen published a new edition prepared by John Ruskin, for which he wrote an additional four verses (to clarify the storyline) and had them illustrated by Kate Greenaway, whose simple pencil drawings were cut by the engraver, William Harcourt Hopper. This calf binding is the main edition of this book, 85 numbered copies were bound in white lambskin. This is a fine copy and comes complete with its original hinged black box, which looks a little like a jewelry box with the press's name and address printed inside the lid. A lovely complete copy of a charming, and scarce, miniature book. MC.
