Abstract
-
en_US
I had at first catalogued this book in our "duplicates" collection outside of Creighton's libraries. On further reflection, I have decided to include it. In an edition including numbered copies, this is an unnumbered copy. As I wrote of our copy #74 of 8000 purchased from Bouquinerie Languédoc, Montepellier, through abe, this is a nice looking edition, regularly using red for titles and black for the texts. No editor is acknowledged. I like the Dandelot water-color illustrations. They are big, bold, and colorful. Unless the cover 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. The book has a plasticene dust jacket that looks original.
