Heath Robinson's "Book of Goblins" In the very scarce color pictorial dust jacket [ROBINSON, W. Heath, illustrator]. Heath Robinson's Book of Goblins. A Collection of Folk-Lore and Fairy Tales. Illustrated with 7 Colour and Over 50 Black and White Illustrations by Heath Robinson. London: Hutchinson & Co., [n.d., 1934]. First edition, first issue. Quarto (9 5/8 x 7 1/4 inches; 244 x 184 mm.). 239, [1, blank] pp. Seven color plates, eight full-page and forty-five smaller black and white line drawings, and ninety-three black and white vignettes of goblins. Title printed in red and blue. Original blue morocco-grain cloth pictorially stamped in blind and lettered in gilt on front cover and spine. In the original color pictorial dust jacket, a little dust soiled and reinforced at edges on verso. A very nice copy in the very scarce dust jacket. The first issue has the title printed in gilt on front cover. "In 1916 Heath Robinson illustrated 'The Rusty Pot and the Wooden Balls' in The Strand Magazine. This story was taken from Vernaleken's collection of Bohemian folk-tales, In the Land of Marvels. Although Constable had rejected this title in favour of Perrault's Fairy Tales when chosing a successor to Peacock Pie, [Heath Robinson] did not give up the idea of illustrating the book. In June 1922 he left with A.E. Johnson three pen drawings illustrating the stories 'The Wild Cat of the forest', 'The Fairest Bride' and "The Three Wondrous Fishes', all from In the Land of Marvels. Presumably he wanted Johnson to show them to various publishers in the hope of getting a contract to illustrate a new edition, but he had no success and it was not until 1933 that he was finally able to start work on the book for Hutchinson. It was published in 1934 under the title Heath Robinson's Book of Goblins and contained 7 coloured plates, 8 full page and 45 smaller line drawings and 93 vignettes depicting the eponymous goblins. The change of title was obviously an attempt by the publisher to cash in both on Heath Robinson's reputation as a humorist and on the popularity of his already well known goblin pictures, and the vignettes are far and away the best things in the book" (Beare, p. 90).
