Sobre este artículo
The 43rd edition published by Methuen, London in 1933. The BOOK is in Very Good+ or better condition. The correct first issue of this edition with blue cloth boards with titles blind embossed on front and in gilt on spine. Just a hint of pushing at the spine ends and a little light spotting to the text-block and the prelims. A hint of residue where a previous owner's bookplate has been removed from the front pastedown but this is barely visible. The book appears unread. The WRAPPER is complete and is in Very Good++ or better condition with a little edge wear at the upper spine. A few nicks with a 2cm closed tear to the upper rear spine fold. Light fading and toning to the spine. The Edith Morris wrapper artwork looks striking in the removable brodart archival cover. The colour plate frontispiece is by Nancy Barnhart. Edith Morris's wrapper illustration was only used for this edition, being dropped and replaced for the next issue. A sharp copy of this scarce edition which rarely turns up in such condition. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
Sinopsis
The Wind in the Willows is a classic children's book by Kenneth Grahame, published in 1908. The story follows the adventures of four animal friends - Mole, Rat, Badger, and Toad - as they explore the English countryside, battle against weasels and stoats, and learn about the value of friendship, loyalty, and the joys of a simple life. Through their adventures, the characters discover the importance of home and the pleasures of a peaceful existence. With its charming characters, vivid descriptions of nature, and timeless themes, The Wind in the Willows remains a beloved classic today.
