Item description from seller

First Rackham Edition. Original pictorial paper-covered boards with cloth cloth spine lettered in black. With on tipped-in colour plate and many illustrations in silhouette by Arthur Rackham. Decorative titlepage in pale blue, pink and black. Green endpapers with illustrations. Edges of boards a touch rubbed, also corner tips. Inconspicuous former owner inscription to verso of the front free endpaper. Spots of foxing to the fore edge. A VG+ copy. This most romantic of fairy tales is found in many versions, and the story of the beautiful girl who falls into a long sleep, to be awakened by a lover, has been interpreted by some as an allegory of the spring revival of the earth after a long winter. Rackham's captivating silhouette drawings bring a sense of mystery and drama to this most cherished of children's stories. Original pictorial paper-covered boards with cloth cloth spine lettered in black. With on tipped-in colour plate and many illustrations in silhouette by Arthur Rackham. Decorative titlepage in pale blue, pink and black. Green endpapers with illustrations. Edges of boards a touch rubbed, also corner tips. Inconspicuous former owner inscription to verso of the front free endpaper. Spots of foxing to the fore edge. A VG+ copy.
