Limited edition #79 of 105 copies, signed by the author (who is most famous for the children's classic, The Velveteen Rabbit). Notable as a Rackham limited edition which he didn't sign. This work is frequently cited as the "rarest Rackham" limited edition and was never issued in England as a limited edition. With 7 tissue-guarded tipped-in plates by Rackham. 4to. xiv, 15-175pp., [1]. Latimore & Haskell, pgs. 59-60. Good plus with toned vellum-like paper spine with leather spine label over paper covered boards, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed, stain to fore edge, pages browned from age and paper quality, professional repairs to spine and hinges. Nevertheless, a respectable copy of a noted rarity.
