by Daphne Allen
Illustrated by Daphne Allen
Published by George Allen & Co. Ltd.. 1st. 1913
Slightly better than good condition. Containing short fairy stories by the artist and also a selection of poems by various authors for which she did the illustrations. Brown paperboards. Full size pictorial onlay to front cover. Numerous tipped-in colour plates of fairies and mermaids plus b/w illustrations. 95 pages.
A little bumping and wear to spine and corners. Onlay is scuffed and grubby with loss from bottom corner. Some fading and marks to rear cover. All plates are present but 7 have corner creases, one has a tear. A few margin tears, some repaired with clear tape. Some marks to endpapers and contents but many pages are clean.
