THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS
Illustrated by Arthur Rackham
Published by Methuen & Co. Ltd.. 1st thus. 1950
Almost very good condition. 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 faded, with damp stain also affecting rear board. Smudged erasure mark to top corner of front endpaper. Contents generally clean.
