London: Dent, 1912. Hardcover. Fine. Robinson, Charles. Large 8vo, full ivory cloth stamped in pictorial gilt, illustrated with 17 mounted full page color plates with captioned tissue guards and mounted color chapter head art by Charles Robinson. Top edge gilt. Mild toning to pictorial endpapers else a lovely bright copy with tiny bumps to tips, no previous ownership markings.
Each plate is mounted with a gold border. Amongst an abundance of beautifully illustrated books of Robinson's, this stands out. The spine gilt with the full title and a large gnome is a delight; the cover, also all in gilt, is a delicate work with a princess and elaborate borders filled with more characters. The endpapers feature trolls with mining tools, all in gilt. The title page is again elaborately drawn. Vignettes are everywhere throughout the text. It's a charmer and one of our favorite Charles Robinson books.
