Hardcover. Condición: Good. Hardcover. Descend into the depths of enchantment on a spiral staircase of stories by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Maria Edgeworth, Ouida, the women's suffragist, animal rights activist, and socialist Mary de Morgan, and more! In this circa 1918 collection, bound in cloth the color of pumpkin spice and bearing a witch whisking away a slumbering child on its cover, you'll encounter a girl who marries a skull, magic candles that summon fairies good or bad based on one's intentions, enchanted streams guarded by fearsome dragons, and a princess who escapes the unbearable politeness of the court when a witch places an automaton in her stead, as well as timeless tales from Celtic, Norse, Italian, West African, Russian, Japanese, Greek, and Arthurian folklore. This "staircase of stories" is arranged by ascending complexity for growing readers from ages 4 to 14 and beyond, bountifully illustrated in a color frontispiece by Minnie Dibdin Spooner, 30 colored plates, and 41 black and white plates (4 of which have been colored in rather well by a previous reader) by such artists as Cecile Walton, Katharine Cameron, Olive Allen, Evelyn Beale, Cecil Aldin, and the great Walter Crane. 9 1/4" X 6 3/4". viii, [iv], 521pp. Presents nicely in protective archival jacket.

Spooner's rendering of the witch and princess from Mary de Morgan's "The Toy Princess" to upper board, lettered in black to upper board and spine, with small vignettes of owls and staircase stamped in black.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+ [Textblock Fine]. Limited Edition. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Designed by Christopher Sandford. Illustrated by Gwenda Morgan. "Among the manuscript note-books of the brothers Grimm are a large number of the fairy-tales they collected with such tireless enthusiasm. A considerable number of these have never been available to the general reader and are virtually unknown. Wilhelm Hansen, director of the Lippe Folk Museum, had access to the manuscripts and selected fifty of these tales for us, tales which Taylor, who made the first English translation, had described as 'most curious' and 'of great merit', but which he felt bound to suppress 'in deference to the scrupulous fastidiousness of modern taste, especially in works likely to attract the attention of youth'. Gwenda Morgan's quaint engravings seemed to compliment these folk tales to perfection." [Cock-A-Hoop]. Minor shelf/edge wear, even sunning at spine, else tight, bright, and unmarred. Purple cloth board, gilt lettering and decorative elements, frontispiece, teg. 8vo. 160pp. Illus. (b/w plates). Numbered limited edition, this being 188 of 500.
