Abstract

en_US
Here is a little treasure from my visit with Matthew Eve at Marchpane in Cecil Court. Tom R. Rigby is new to me. His full-page black-and-white illustrations might remind one of Percy Billinghurst's in their format and approach. They seem to me right for this "little book," since they stress visually and in text a good focus for particular fables. The book is surprisingly generously illustrated. TMCM has the city food "hid under the seat" (29). Like so many before him, Rigby struggles with lion's faces. "The Little Books Series" is intended "for young and old." This little book is fragile, and many pages are loose. 93 pages. About 4" x 5¼". Oxford and Cambridge are the only places WorldCat lists as having the book besides us! I am following their guess of 1908. Our copy is inscribed in 1912.
