Beschreibung
First edition of the story of what happens when an over-confident squirrel tries the patience of an owl. Set in the scenic Lake District, where "the Potter family had spent a number of their summer holidays," THE TALE OF SQUIRREL NUTKIN is the classic Beatrix Potter mix of realistic and fantastic animal exploits (Taylor et al., 111). The sailing squirrels and the antics of Nutkin (and his eventual comeuppance) were an immediate hit with Potter's young readers, who wrote her letters about how much they enjoyed the "lovely" "Scell nuskin"; "I shall always have a strong preference for cheap books myself," Potter wrote to Norman Warne, "all my little friends happen to be shilling people" (Linder, 142). 5.5'' x 4''. Original dark grey paper boards with color pictorial center panel and white lettering. Color decorative endpapers of other Beatrix Potter characters. Illustrated in color throughout. First or second issue. 86 pages. Gift inscription to front flyleaf, dated 1904. Lacks scarce glazed paper dust jacket. Binding with a bit of bumping to spine ends and lower corners. Spine cracked to a couple of openings, leaves with scattered soil; two small abrasions to gutter of pages 84/85. Colors vibrant. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 44961
