Hardcover. Tall 4to. Colour illustrations. Miniscule shelfwear to board edges; else in near fine condition and in original, slightly scuffed, slipcase. A quite lovely and charming book, being a children's story drawn from an old Tuscan folk tale. Translated from the Italian by author and journalist Helena Attlee (the author of 'Italian Gardens: A Cultural History'). The illustrator, Ann Brunskill, is a British printer, artist and etcher, who owns and operates The Worlds End Press (the publisher of this book). She cut the wood blocks for the illustrations in this book with a Japanese knife and hand coloured them. This is no 65 of an edition of 120 copies, set in Membo 24 point. Printed on a Lions Hand Press. Signed by the illustrator. Very scarce book.
