The limited edition included an "extra plate", being a duplicate of "He hurried away with long strides", signed by Rackham and this is present here in the original printed envelope. A review in The Bookman noted that "Here is an ideal conjunction of author and artist - the fairy and folk tales of the Brothers Grimm could not have a more fitting illustrator than Arthur Rackham, nor he more suitable authors to illustrate..." Quarto. Original grey cloth, spine lettered in gilt, front cover lettered and decorated in gilt on white background, pictorial endpapers, top edge gilt, others untrimmed. Housed in a custom brown cloth slipcase with white morocco opening. Colour frontispiece and 11 colour plates mounted on grey paper, black and white illustrations in the text, all by Rackham. With additional plate. Extremities a little bumped, minor tear to top of front joint, front hinge split but firm, some foxing and browning, minor creases to two plates, light soiling and creases to envelope: a very good copy. Latimore and Haskell, pp. 46-7; Riall, p.129. The Bookman, December 1917, p. 156.
