A scarce first edition of this delightfully illustrated botanical guide for children.
Scarce first edition.
Smartly rebacked, with the publisher's original red cloth boards.
Delightfully illustrated throughout with botanical examples by the author.
A charming, botanical guide, designed to be accessible for children.
From prolific author and illustrator Anne Pratt, well known for her popular Wild Flowers of the Year artwork, this being her first published work.
Smartly rebacked, with the publisher's original red cloth boards.
Lovely contemporary inscription to the front free endpaper, dated 1852, and the bookplate of S.
Leigh Taylor to the front paste down.
Externally, a nice copy with slight fraying and edgewear to the original cloth, alongside reasonable discolouration and marking.
Two instances of a small section of the modern cloth becoming adhered to the original board, one to the front and one to the rear.
Internally, firmly bound.
Bright and clean with the odd spot, and a small mark to the top edge of the first page.
Very Good
