THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS by GRAHAME, Kenneth:

London: Methuen and Co. Ltd. 1908. First edition, first printing. First edition, first printing. Presentation Copy. Original blue-green cloth with gilt illustration and title to the front and spine. Top edge gilt. Black and white frontispiece by Graham Robertson, complete with tissue guard, as issued. A superb fine copy, the binding square and firm, the cloth and gilt bright and fresh. The contents with the publisher's circular "presentation copy" ink stamp at the bottom of the title page are otherwise clean throughout and without previous owner's marks. Housed in a mid twentieth century green quarter leather chemise slipcase, with titles in gilt. A stunning example of this classic of children's literature, seldom encountered in fine original condition or in publisher's presentation state.
