About This Item
London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1951. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. The interior of the book is clean and fresh, with no marks and very few signs of previous use. The violet covers are bright, with just a bit of wear at tips and corners. The gilt spine lettering and cover decorations have dulled slightly. The dust jacket is also in very good condition. It has a price-clip on the top right hand dust jacket flap, and shallow chipping to the top and bottom of the spine. The colours remain bright. The attached scan gives a better idea of general condition. The jacket is now in a protective mylar cover.
Synopsis
From the book:The Editor takes this opportunity to repeat what he has often said before, that he is not the author of the stories in the Fairy Books; that he did not invent them 'out of his own head.' He is accustomed to being asked, by ladies, 'Have you written anything else except the Fairy Books?' He is then obliged to explain that he has NOT written the Fairy Books, but, save these, has written almost everything else, except hymns, sermons, and dramatic works.
