- Abstract
- en_US Here is a hardbound copy of this edition that our collection already has in two paperbound copies, one numbered and one unnumbered. This copy with a distinctive black-and-white illustration of FC on its red-brown cloth cover cost less than a tenth of the other numbered copy! As I wrote there, this is a nice looking edition, regularly using red for titles and black for the texts. I like the Dandelot water-color illustrations. They are big, bold, and colorful. Unless the title-page illustration of WC counts as one of the ten, I can find only nine. The others face: 16, 32, 64, 96, 128, 144, 160, 224, and 272. The FG illustration is particularly good (64). I would say it is clear that this fox has done and will do no jumping. There are also several nice monochrome designs throughout the book: WL (49 and 301); "The Larks and Their Mother" (93); TH (129 and 241); and perhaps "A Hungry Fox" (257). There is an AI at the back.
