Beschreibung

A charming fairy tale by the Reverend Paget, warning children against selfishness. 'The Hope of the Katzekopes' was written by Reverend Paget with the intention of guiding young minds towards a more wholesome morality, as the author believed that this was lacking in other fiction at the time. It was intended to exercise empathy in children, and to guide them away from selfishness. Written by Reverend Francis Edward Paget, who was the chapplain to the bishop of Bath and Wells, and who restored Elford Church. Some of his other works include 'Lucretia', 'The Pageant', 'Tales of the Village Children', and 'Some Records of the Ashtead Estate and of its Howard Possessors'. With six illustrated head pieces throughout. In the original publisher's cloth binding. Externally, sound. Light dampstaining to the boards, causing discolouration. A couple of light markings to the boards. Minor sunning to the spine. Small amount of bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Rear hinge is strained. Prior owner's ink inscription to the front pastedown, '1898'. Prior owner's tidy sketching of the Union Jack to the font pastedown. Light offsetting to the recto to the front endpaper and to the verso to the rear endpaper. Prior owner's label to the verso to the front endpaper, 'John & Christie Dore, 18 Whitehall, Watchet, Somerset, TA23 0BD'. Prior owner's ink inscription to the half title page, 'To . McClitock with . love 5th of Dec 1914'. Internally, generally firmly bound, though strained in places. Pages are bright and generally clean with the odd spot and handling mark. Textblock from pages 17 to 96 have been cut to the bottom to the fore edge. Puncture mark through the textblock, however not affecting text. Page 1/2 is lifting but remains attached. Small chip to the head of page 35/36. Last line on page 159, 'And so my story ends', has scoring marks around it with attempted removal, and is lifting from the bottom. Good.
