BOOKS SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. An unauthorized edition of Chloe Preston's third book, in which the Kewpie doll-like Peek-a-Boos visit the rabbits at their home. There are no credits in the book (and thus presumably unauthorized) but it was written by Preston's aunt Zoe Hoyle, identified in the original as "Z.H.," and illustrated by Preston in collaboration with George Howard-Vyse. Preston drew the Peek-A-Boo characters and backgrounds while Howard-Vyse rendered all the rabbit figures. Preston (1887-1969) was the illustrator and writer of many British children's books, most published between 1910 and 1934, when she received a substantial inheritance and more or less removed herself from public view. Unpaginated [54 pages]; 6 color plates + b&w illustrations throughout and illustrated endpapers; 6.5 x 7.5 inches. McLoughlin #2210.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Preston, Chloe; Howard-Vyse, George Ilustrador. Large octavo size, [52] pp. Chloe Preston provided the illustrations for twelve "Peek-A-Boo" books (per Baumgarten); interestingly, this title not listed. With the introduction of anthropomorphised animals Preston seems to have been inspired by Beatrix Potter, whose "Peter Rabbit" was first published in 1901. Information on Chloe Preston (1887-1969) is a bit elusive; from various online sources we gleen that she was born in Britain "in a gentrified English country environment". Her charming illustrations of the Chunkies (anthropomorphic wooden dolls) and the Peek-a-Boos have "clear simple outlines and bright colours, [and] her humorous images portray simple excursions and activities" (n.b., quotes from the web site of the Antique Print Club). ___DESCRIPTION: Paper-covered boards, white lettering on the front board debossed and outlined in black, full-colour pictorial circular paper onlay mounted below the lettering and raised (bas-relief style), black lettering and decorations printed on the spine, black-line illustrated endpapers (front and rear different images), colour frontispiece one of eight full-page colour illustrations throughout printed on rectos only, black-line illustrated title page, additional black-line in-text illustrations throughout; large octavo size (8 7/8" by 8"), [52] pp. ___CONDITION: Overall very good, the binding showing minimal wear with a few light marks on the raised paper onlay, the colours on the onlay still bright, a strong square text block with solid hinges, the interior illustrations bright, the sole prior owner marking we see a name written in a vintage hand on the verso of the front free endpaper; some minor soiling to the boards, spine sunned, offsetting to the free endpapers, the front pastedown shows the indentations from the front board having been debossed to create the bas-relief effect, light foxing to the text block edges, and a few scattered spots of light soil throughout. Even with its faults, a very good, solid copy. ___POSTAGE: International customers, please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details. ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA, ILAB, and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell. Please contact us with any questions you may have, we are here to help.
