THE STORY OF MISS MOPPET
Illustrated by Beatrix Potter
Published by Frederick Warne & Co.. 1st. 1906
Very good condition. The delightful story of Miss Moppet, the little kitten, and her attempts to catch a mouse who is determined not to be caught! The first edition is printed in panoramic form, mounted on a strip of linen and folded concertina-style into a wallet with a tuck-in flap. Needless to say, these were very fragile and few survived. Later editions were printed in the usual small book format. The wallet is covered with grey pictorial cloth with a colour onlay of the Miss Moppet to the front. "London & New York" on rear cover denotes that this is the first printing.
Some wear to cover edges; a few light marks. Inscription in ink to verso of a 'page' of this book. Light browning; small piece of surface paper damage to corner of page with inscription. All pages are still in tact - some wear to page edges. Still in very good condition for this book!
