£2,350.00
First edition, first printing. Published by William Heinemann in London, 1911. A very good/near fine copy. One previous owner’s name and date to the half-title. The boards are free from notable chips and marks and the text blocks are bright and white, some light foxing to the latter and preliminary pages. Top edge is fully blocked in green and complete. The eight beautiful full page colour plates by Charles Robinson are all complete and included, as is the tissue frontispiece. Some wear to the spine tips and corners.
