THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham
Published by Methuen & Co. Ltd.. 1960
Very good condition in a good dustwrapper. The last book to be illustrated by Rackham. Grahame himself originally approached Rackham to illustrate his book but at that time it could not be managed. It was thirty years later that Rackham finally consented. The pictures were finished just as World War II broke out and were originally published in America by the Limited Editions Club. Green cloth, gilt titles to spine. 12 lovely colour plates plus 15 line illustrations in the text. 178 pages.
Spine and corners bumped. Some light spotting to rear cover. Rear endpaper has been badly damaged (with loss) by silver fish, slight damage to front endpapers and to rear pastedown (tiny hole in pastedown). Dustwrapper is price-cut and edge-worn with loss and some spotting/grubby marks.
