1881 Fairy Tales Limited Ed Thomas BEWICK 100 Woodcuts RARE Poetry Walter Brown

“Tales, Poetry, and Fairy Tales” by Walter Brown is a captivating anthology comprising 25 narratives, poems, and fairy tales. The tales possess a unique blend of authenticity and wisdom, catering both to the curiosity of the young and the reflection of the older reader. One of the standout tales introduces us to “Tibby Wilton and the Gypsies,” a character so vividly portrayed that readers are easily drawn into her world, feeling a deep connection and concern for her well-being. The poem “Cluna Cluff” is highlighted not only for its appeal to young readers but also for its deeper lessons valuable to rulers and leaders. Elevating the visual allure of the book, its adorned with 100 woodcuts, showcasing the craftsmanship of the renowned wood engraver, Thomas Bewick.

This limited, “Enlarged Edition” is exclusive as this specific copy is numbered 64 out of only 250 copies printed. As a result, this specific printing, is not only more sought after but is of a much higher rarity than both the 1878 first edition and later 1884 third edition.
