About This Item
D.J. with a couple of creases; spine slightly discoloured; o/w VG. Illus. match the book's cover. Text of "The Princess Nobody". Edited and with a Foreword by Cary Wilkins. "Lang's tale has been reprinted almost exactly as it was originally published. The main change has been to Americanize the English spellings. A couple of obvious errors have also been fixed. And, in one of the pictures a winged insectappears, which Lang called a Daddy Long Legs. Since Americans use that name for a type of spider, we have called the creature a Dragonfly. One final minor point: Lang used two words to name his magical wonderland--Fairy Land. We have kept the spelling in the text but have adopted its modern spelling, as one word, for the title."
