ND as called for but 1907. Contemporary inscription on half title dated 1907 + another inscription. Illustrated endpapers by Arthur Rackham. Externally the orignal decorative cloth covers are in good order with a little wear to the spine cloth and some mild sunning to the boards. One or two marks else clean and bright. Internally very good with clean pages throughout. There are a couple of inscriptions to the first few pages else untouched with all of Rackham's stunning plates presenting well.
