this edition features the lovely illustrations which are florid 
Pre-Raphaelite in quality of  the Hon. Eleanor Vere Boyle, wife of the

figure subjects at the Grosvenor Gallery and elsewhere from 1878-81. She 
Illustrateded  many children's books using the initials EVB. Most of them 
were printed in color by chromo- lithography, as here,  by Emrik & Singer, 
Chromolith. East London. See Dictionary of Victorian Painters. This book 
is, however, particularly prized.  Original glazed, pictorial boards, 
showing another design not repeated within, corners worn, inner rear hinge 
repaired. Inscribed on the Fr. Fr. EP "Miss Lizzie Mullan Christmas 1885" 
in a large round hand. ]. Both the English and this American issue are

Osborne[ the last four lacking the English Edition]. An About Very Good 
copy.  $650.00

The English edition had two more plates and it was printed in 1872. It is 
now being offered at a price which makes this one, from my last juvenile 
catalog seem like a bargain, even if you halve the price one finds it at in 
some hands. And, of course, dear colleagues, I always honor "usual trade 
discounts," too.
