About This Item
London: Frederick Warne and Co, 1905-01-01. Hardcover. Good. Original green paper wrapped boards (5.5" H x 4" W) with picture and beige lettering on cover and along spine; moderate rubbing along edges and tips. Binding tight and square; contents clean and unmarked except one page with green colored pencil. No dust jacket. Illustrated end papers. Dated 1905, but not a first edition. The date 1905 is lacking from the title page so this is a later reprint even though it still states 1905 on the copyright page. All items carefully packed to avoid damage from moisture and rough handling.
Synopsis
To celebrate Peter's birthday, Frederick Warne is publishing new editions of all 23 of Potter's original tales, which take the very first printings of Potter's works as their guide. The aim of these editions is to be as close as possible to Beatrix Potter's intentions while benefiting from modern printing and design techniques. The colors and details of the watercolors in the volumes are reproduced more accurately than ever before, and it has now been possible to disguise damage that has affected the artwork over the years. Most notably, The Tale of Peter Rabbit restores six of Potter's original illustrations. Four were sacrificed in 1903 to make space for illustrated endpapers, and two have never been used before. Of course, Beatrix Potter created many memorable children's characters, including Benjamin Bunny, Tom Kitten, Jemima Puddle-duck and Jeremy Fisher. But whatever the tale, both children and adults alike can be delighted by the artistry in Potter's illustrations, while they also enjoy a very good read. Because they have always been completely true to a child's experience, Potter's 23 books continue to endure.
