Sobre este artículo
London, Paris, New York: Raphael Tuck & Sons, 1890. First edition. Very good plus.. First printing of this fantasy shape book, with rhymes about the many fairies of the outdoors illustrated with vivid chromolithographs. Nesbit's method of blending the realism of the natural world with bits of magic was an immense influence in the direction of 20th-century children's fantasy. FAIRIES, published early in her career, demonstrates that her talent at bringing together the mundane and magical was present from the start. This is a vibrant example, and rare among Nesbit's significant oeuvre. 4.25'' x 4.75''. Original thick chromolithograph wrappers, saddle-stitched, shaped like a pair of roses. With original string and tassels loosely laid in. Illustrated by Sunter with 16 chromolithographs and others in black and white. [36] pages. Gift page filled in in contemporary ink, from "Mrs. Geo. E. Cooper" to "Miss Bertha L. Bowen". Wrappers with a hint of edgewear; spine with tiny glue reinforcement and faint remnants of two small tape repairs. Central opening with a touch of foxing, else clean and bright.
