Abstract
-
en_US
Here is another signed and numbered copy of this beautiful book, this one #298 of 525 and again signed by both Marsh and Gooden. This copy is in even better shape than the earlier copy. This book's cover material seems to deteriorate over the years as blotches of cream color appear in the gold. As I wrote there, this book is vastly superior to the 1933 edition I had found earlier. A real treasure! The engravings alternate between larger and smaller; they are listed on xv. The best after the title page are Death and the Woodman, The Lion in Love, The Lark and the Farmer, The Carter Stuck, and The Young Widow. The engravings in this presentation take off by contrast with those in the 1933 reprint. The tellings are lively. The translator's preface is so British and so 30's.
