The Tall Book of Mother Goose

Well-loved but still nice FIRST EDITION with it's hard-to-find original DJ from 1942 of this highly collectible children's title, with the (often quite strange) full-color illustrations of famed Russian émigré Feodor Rojankovsky complementing each rhyme, the endpapers, & both front & rear board. In 119 pages, lavishly illustrated on each, this tall, slim hardcover (5.25" x 12.25") has colorfully decorated paper over boards. Condition is Good+: generally quite clean, with random light soil & spotting. Stitched binding is strong & straight, both hinges secure. Pages creamy white & unmarked save for old gift inscription dated 1943 in pen to half-title page. Heavy bumping to all corners & both ends of spine show slight loss, tearing. The unclipped DJ is Poor: missing some chips & chunks, front hinge completely detached, many small chips, edgewear, soil; nicely preserved in new clear mylar cover free!
