Hardcover. Condición: Fine. 2nd Edition. Red Riding Hood's Favourite Fairy Tales - Dawn and Peter Cope - 1983 Treasure Press Edition - Like New Condition, Illustrated with Vintage Postcards A beautiful and charming collection of classic fairy tales, Red Riding Hood's Favourite Fairy Tales, compiled and edited by Dawn and Peter Cope. This is the 1983 Treasure Press edition (ISBN 0 907812 52 X / 090781252X), a reprint of the 1981 first edition originally published by Webb & Bower (Publishers) Ltd in Great Britain. Printed in Hong Kong. 64 pages, large octavo hardcover with illustrated boards. Companion volume to Humpty Dumpty's Favourite Nursery Rhymes. Condition: Like New / Fine. This copy is in exceptional, near-pristine condition. The binding is tight and square with no looseness or cracking. Boards are bright, clean, and unmarked with sharp corners and vibrant colours—no fading, rubbing, or shelf-wear. The spine is uncreased. Interior pages are crisp, clean, and free of any writing, inscriptions, bookplates, foxing, browning, or tears. All colour illustrations are vivid and intact. No dust jacket (as issued in this edition). A truly collector-worthy example that looks essentially unread and as fresh as the day it was printed. Content and Illustrations: This delightful anthology gathers traditional fairy tales treasured by generations of children. Stories include: Little Red Riding Hood Puss in Boots Jack and the Beanstalk Hansel and Gretel The Sleeping Beauty The Feather of Finist the Falcon The Goose Girl Jack the Giant Killer Blue Beard The Frog Prince The Three Bears Cinderella Snow White and others (full contents listed on pages 6-7). What makes this volume especially enchanting is its use of authentic colour illustrations reproduced from rare nursery postcards produced between 1900 and 1940 by many talented artists of the era. These vivid, decorative, and often whimsical images capture the golden age of postcard art and children's book illustration. The introduction provides fascinating historical context on fairy tale traditions and includes short biographies and portraits of key illustrators featured, such as: Joyce Mercer, Millicent Sowerby, Charles Folkard, Hilda Miller, Margaret Tarrant, Lilian Govey, Susan Pearse, and others (including works by or in the style of popular artists like those from the Art Deco and earlier periods). Artists represented emphasise nursery themes with bright, detailed scenes perfectly suited to the stories. Dawn and Peter Cope were a husband-and-wife team known for curating and presenting nostalgic collections of vintage children's illustrations. They carefully selected and compiled these postcard artworks to revive the magic of early 20th-century fairy tale imagery for modern readers. Their companion volumes (like the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhymes edition) are similarly prized by collectors of illustrated children's books and ephemera. Why Collect This Edition? A perfect gift for fairy tale enthusiasts, children's literature collectors, or those who appreciate vintage postcard art and Edwardian/Victorian Revival illustration. Scarce in this outstanding condition. Ideal for display or reading aloud to children. A lovely piece of publishing history blending folklore with beautiful period artwork. Publisher: Treasure Press (imprint of Webb & Bower), London, 1983. Format: Hardcover, illustrated boards, 64 pp. This is a standout copy of a charming and increasingly hard-to-find illustrated fairy tale collection. Don't miss this opportunity for a "like new" example. Joyce Mercer, Millicent Sowerby, Charles Folkard, Hilda Miller, Margaret Tarrant, Lilian Govey, Susan Pearse (ilustrador).…
