P, Dutton & Co., circa 1890, Printed in Bavaria. Black and White Illustrations and 5 folding color Pop-up pages by publisher and printer Ernest Nister (1842-1909) who specialized in colored toy and movable picture books. In addition to the pop-up pages, the book contains Animal Stories by L. L. Weedon, Clifton Bingham, and Ruth Deane with pen and ink illustrations. No dust jacket. The colored pictorial boards are lightly soiled, have some scratches, and edge wear. The hinges on the front and back boards have been reinforced. All of the pop-ups are original and complete in excellent condition. Some of the tabs have been re-glued or, in a few cases, a new one added for a missing tab. Overall, a very nice copy of one of the classic, innovative animated books by the famous English publisher Ernest Nister.
