Illustrated by Randolph Caldecott
Published by Frederick Warne & Co.. Circa. 1910
Good condition. Containing The Diverting History of John Gilpin; The House That Jack Built; An Elegy on the Death of a Mad Dog; The Babes in the Wood. Square format. Pictorial cloth. Colour & b/w illustrations. Decorated pale orange endpapers (publisher's motif?).
Spine and corners bumped. Some small dents to cover edges and some scuffing and scratches to cloth. Covers a bit grubby. Inscriptions in ink to front free-endpaper (one crossed out). Front free-endpaper is creased. Front joint is cracked. Pages 23-26 of John Gilpin have been torn and now repaired with tape. A couple of the b/w illustrations have been coloured in with water-colour paint. There is some foxing throughout. A few small margin tears. Not as bad as it sounds, still a reasonable copy for a book that is over 100 years old!
