Grimm's Fairy Tales

GRIMM, Jacob and Wilhelm / RACKHAM, Arthur

GRIMM, Jacob and Wilhelm / RACKHAM, Arthur Grimm's Fairy Tales

Constable, 1909.

First Rackham edition. Large 4to. One of 750 copies issued in this Deluxe format, signed by Arthur Rackham. Full white vellum with gilt embossed lettering and decoration. Top edge gilt and others untrimmed. Silk ties, rear one a little loose. 40 mounted colour plates under captioned tissue guards and numerous black and white illustrations. A fine, bright copy. With just a few lights spots to the lower edge of the upper board and minor pushing to the spine ends. Contents are remarkably clean and fresh. Very uncommon thus.

What a book for any child, big or small, to find on Christmas morning as its new property left by Santa Claus!...a picture wherever a picture can be put...a possession which will win him the envy not only of his brothers and sisters, but of all the grown-ups too. Contemporary review, The Bookman, 1909.
A heavy book it is unusual to find this deluxe edition in such nice condition. Contains all the favourite fairy tales from the Brothers Grimm.
