Complete with the original illustrated dustwrapper which is a little rubbed and creased to the extremities and has some dustiness and light marking to the panels. Not price clipped (16s to the bottom of the front flap). An English translation of Colette's text based on her libretto for the Ravel opera 'L'enfant et les sortilèges'.
