Van Zelm, L. Franklin
Hardcover, tweed (granite coloured) covers, presumed first. A delightful book graced by lovely and whimical illustrations following the adventures of these adorable mice and mouse people. Contains 17 illustrations, all present, consisting of bright colour plates, halftone and regular black and whites, all complete full page. Some wear on the outer covers, some surface cracking on spine. Hinges are reasonably sound, all illustrated pages attached with one exception - the plate facing page 100 has come loose, but still present and in the right sequence. Overall a lovely vintage childrens book.

Fair
Marvellous vintage children's book with the added interest of having pin-up girl Betty Grable as the central character in the mystery. Green boards with red lettering. Some general shelf and edgewear, along with age toning of pages. Perhaps a touch of mustiness. Dust jacket is rather tattered but still present. All in all, a nice vintage copy

hunt, Enid Leigh
A Fine Lady Upon a White Horse : Her Journeyings Through the Realm of Fancy
London
Sampson Low, Marston & Co
1920
First Edition
Hard Cover
Fair
Peto, Gladys
Hardcover, presumed 1st. 120 pp. Originally contained 8 colour plates, but 2 are missing (facing page 64 "What a good boy am I" and facing page 80 "Jill came tumbling after". Remaining plates are present, although loose from bindings. This particular copy is certainly well read and well loved, some colouring of a few b&w illustrations, binding shaken, heavy edge and shelfwear, rubbing of cover. Despite flaws still a wonderful and uncommon collection of nursery rhymes and the Gladys Peto colour plates are marvellously art deco styled - her work remains appealing now for its attractive and inventive art deco style, clearly influenced by Aubrey Beardsley
