About this Item

In the original publisher's pictorial paper covered boards. The cover design is 'The Golden Fleece is Borne Away'. The paper is rubbed and scraped along the edges and at the top and bottom of the spine, a light but 'wiggly' crease line runs down the spine, and the tips of each corner are rubbed through to the board, but the covers are tight and sound and generally pretty good. (see Images). NO Inscriptions or Marks. No date shown in the book, but research gives the date as c. 1945. The 5 lovely full colour Pop-Ups are undamaged apart from tears to a couple of 'tags'. With a full page coloured Frontispiece and colour Title page. The coloured endpapers show 'Atlanda's Race' and 'Stanley Meeting Livingstone'. The 5 Pop-ups are : - 'The Gondola'; 'Ran Dan the Fisherman'; 'The Circus Clown'; 'The Felikin's Tree' and 'Punch and Judy'. Also in the book are stories and verses illustrated in black and white, many relating to the pictures. A few light marks internally, more particularly to the inner gutters, but Overall a Very Clean, Tight and Bright copy considering the friable nature of this type of book. See Images. ; Small 4to 9" - 11" tall.
