[1915] 136pp, with tipped in colour frontispiece and 19 further colour illustrations, all by Edmund Dulac, mounted on panelled card. In tan cloth-covered boards with stylised lettering and decorations in blue (boards worn, rubbed at edges, corners and spine ends, rubbed through around spine joints and some marks). Gutter between front endpapers cracked with consequent fragility. Hint of toning on prelims, else internally fresh and clean. The illustrations remain clean, fresh and, quite simply, stunning. A collection of fairy tales and traditional stories. This volume, in the Edwardian Gift Book style, was compiled and published to raise funds for the French Red Cross, then battling to support allied soldiers on the fronts of world war one. There is an exhortation inside to 'please send anything you can'. "These men have answered their call, and in the length and breath of France they wait your reply". Seller Inventory # 004829
