THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham

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. Light browning to endpapers. Small ink stamp to rear pastedown. Price-cut wrapper is faded, edge chipped and torn with tape repairs on verso and some small sections of loss at edges.
