Rare very good example in near very good original wrapper. From front flap summary: "The exquisite art of Miss Joyce Mercer has never found a more suitable medium than the illustration of these famous tales. Although children enjoy the stories in themselves, there is a great advantage in having them illuminated with the wit and understanding of Miss Mercer's imagination, for they enable the youthful mind to envisage with greater clarity the characters and incidents in the stories, and we do not doubt that this will be accepted as the edition of Andersen and Grimm."
