Description
The Blue Fairy Book, Third edition

From the classic children’s series edited by Andrew Lang. Pub. 1890 by Longmans, Green and Co. Eight b/w full-page illustrations plus numerous other illustrations throughout the text by H. J. Ford and G. P. Jacomb Hood. Third edition. All edges gilt. Andrew Lang (1844-1912) was a famous Scottish folklorist and writer. He wrote or compiled many children's books but is probably best known for his 'Fairy Book' series, which began with 'The Blue Fairy Book' in 1889 and ended with 'The Lilac Fairy Book' in 1910. This is the scarce third edition of his 'Blue Fairy Book'. Bound in the original blue cloth covered boards with gilt titling and an illustration on the spine and gold illustration of a witch on a broomstick on the front board. Tips worn through. Head of spine frayed; foot of spine chipped. Rubbing to front and bottom edges. Spine very lightly sunned. Hinges solid. Interior very good plus with a page here and there with foxing. 390 pages plus a 16-page publisher's catalogue. 5.25 x 7.375.
