About This Item
Berlin: In der Realschulbuchhandlung, 1812. First. hardcover. good. [2], 384, lx pages. Short thick 12mo, bound in 20th century gray boards with paper spine label. The text block has extensive expert repairs at margins and Japanese tissue overlays to re-enforce the numerous torn and chipped pages; approximately 12 leaves have actual loss of text, although some pages are missing [lacking the entire 23 page prologue and last 4 pages of text which contain half of tale 84 and all of tales 85-86], and the errata leaf. Some occasional staining and light penciling. Berlin: In der Realschulbuchhandlung, 1812. First edition.<br/> <br/> The first volume only (others followed in 1815 & 1822) of the first edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales. A flawed copy, but extraordinarily scarce nonetheless and containing classics such as Hansel & Gretel, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, and Snow White.<br/> <br/>
