Sobre este artículo
New York: Frederick Warne & Co., 1936. Copyright renewed 1936, this copy most likely from the 1930s, with the multi-character dustjacket. Generally good in good dustjacket. Illustrated with charming color plates by the author, and color illustrated endpapers. Blue-gray hardcover with color illustration mounted on the front cover, about 5.75" tall, color illustrated dustjacket that lists 18 titles from the Peter Rabbit series on the inner flap. The book has minor shelf rubbing, good hinges, sound text block, clean pages with no names or other markings - but unfortunately there is some surface peeling about half the front pastedown endpaper and about 15% of the rear pastedown - like something was stuck there and peeled away. The mylar protected dustajcket is not clipped and has some general age-related soil, light shelfwear, but some old tape reinforcement to a couple of areas on the reverse side, very minor chipping to spine head.. Hard Cover. Good/Good. 24mo - 5" - 5¾" Tall.
Sinopsis
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
