Very good condition in a almost very good dustwrapper. Peer Gynt is first and foremost a poetic fantasy, although based on a real person who lived Norway c1800. About his exploits, not much more is known than is found in Asbjornsen's book Norwegian Fairy Tales, in which Peer Gynt's chief exploits lie in the direction of fighting and conqueroring trolls. Admirably depicted by the "Goblin Master" in 12 colour plates plus b/w text illustrations. Brown cloth, gilt titles and vignette to front cover. Cream and brown pictorial endpapers. 255 pages.

Spine slightly faded, gilt titles nice and bright. Boards clean. Text block slightly grubby. Endpapers browned. All plates present. One or two marks to contents. Dustwrapper is edge-worn and chipped.
