Beschreibung

First edition, 64pp, patterned brown endpapers, free endpapers tanned, printed in brown ink with colour illustrations and brown illustrations in text, ink gift inscription to title page, pages seem clean, original paper-covered boards and red cloth spine, corners and edges worn, binding loose with some spine cracks with visible thread and p57 loose with frayed edges. Florence K Upton (1873-1922) published 12 Golliwogg books between 1895 and 1907. The inspiration for the books came from a black doll she and her sisters had been given when they were small and which she felt would go with the Dutch dolls she had prepared as models for the children's book she wanted to write. The verses were written by her mother but it is the charming treatment of the characters in Florence's illustrations that made them so popular. Although produced in large numbers, like so many really popular children's books, the vast majority were read, scribbled on, torn and destroyed by their young readers. Examples such as this copy in good condition are now scarce. Size: 8.75 X 11 Inches. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 018443
