Written by Beatrix Potter. Illustrated by Beatrix Potter.
Stock no. 1208895
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 the first printing. This is the 2ND PRINTING with New York & London on back cover. Unusually the silver tab closure is still present (slightly torn on edges), tab on front flap for closng is still present too. A few small black spots to covers and a light spot to front but covers are otherwise bright. Some rubbing to page edges and some light foxing. One page has light vertical creases to it. Several page corner tips have a small ink stain. A super copy of the 2nd priinting.

Written by Beatrix Potter. Illustrated by Beatrix Potter.
Stock no. 1328328
Published by Frederick Warne & Co Ltd.. 1st thus 1969. Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.

The Tailor of Gloucester, as originally written by Beatrix Potter, was three times as long as the small edition published by Frederick Warne and Company which her admirers know so well today, and she was reluctant to have its text cut or altered. However, even in the privately printed edition, which she published herself, she was obliged to sacrifice some eleven hundred words and in the Warne edition that followed, a thousand words were deleted. This is a printed trade edition of the original manuscript and pictures with all the cherished nursery rhymes included and all the whimsical details retained. Produced with the assistance of the Free Library of Philadelphia, owner of the original manuscript and pictures. Cream pictorial boards. Full page colour illustrations. 9.5 x 7.5" ISBN: 0723210985. Slight evidence of removal of a bookplate to front free-endpaper. Contents fine. Price-cut wrapper is browned and edge worn.
