About This Item
London: A. & C. Black, 1931. 1st UK edition. Hardcover. Outhwaite, Ida Rentoul. First UK edition. 47 full page illustrations including 16 color plates. Pictorial endpapers.
Outhwaite is the best known children's illustrator to come out of Australia. This is her best book, suitable oversized with superb full page illustrations throughout.
Corners all modestly bumped, spine slightly sunned, some small dark stains to the backcover. Light foxing throughout although none to the color plates, which are printed on glossy stock. The frontis is loose and lightly worn at the right edge. Binding is otherwise tight. Still, a handsome copy of a fragile and uncommon book.
