About This Item
Kredel worked with Koch before coming to the United States. This was his first book for George Macy. The illustrations for the tales adorn all of the stories, and are vignettes drawn in ink with two or more colors hand applied to each one. The result is one of the most charming books the LEC ever produced! Book is in near fine condition, with very light rubbing along the corners and the head and tail. The spine is very lightly and evenly sunned. The slipcase is entire, but has had some tape repairs. Copy number 522 of 1500.
Signed on the colophon by the famed German book designer Rudolf Koch and also the artist Fritz Kredel.
