First Edition
First edition, first impression. Marion Gemmell has only recently been acknowledged as an author, since for many years the identity of "Marion" was assumed to be the illustrator herself, Jessie Marion King. It is only quite recently that the descendants of Mrs Alexander (Marion) Gemmell have affirmed her as the author (B199, Colin White bibliography). This is an uncommon book, especially in this condition, and very rare in the glassine. Quarto. Original pictorial boards, illustrated blue and yellow endpapers. Retaining the original glassine, front flap priced "5/- net". Housed in a custom blue cloth chemise within blue half morocco slipcase. With frontispiece, illustrated title page, 11 full-page colour plates, and numerous smaller colour illustrations throughout by Jessie M. King. A fine copy. Glassine slightly chipped and torn but all holding without repair.
