Contents are arranged as a panorama, concertina style in fourteen pairs with text facing accompanying illustration. Original pale blue wallet-style binding with tab and slot, with dark blue decorative titles and an oval colour illustration of Miss Moppet laid on to upper board and Frederick Warne London & New York stamped to rear cover A miniscule closed (repaired) tear to edge of leaf [14] and a small (3cm), two small tears starting to joint of wallet but firmly holding. Some leaves lightly edge-rubbed otherwise an very clean and bright example of this format. Charming illustrated and much-loved third work of Beatrice Potter in the unusual panoramic concertina format. It was Potter herself who insisted on this format drawing inspiration from Cruikshank's Comic Alphabet, later editions were all printed in conventional bindings as, being a children's book, copies did not survive much handling. Only two of Potter's works appeared this way and few survive without major damage. Scarce in this condition.

Description: First edition first issue, with 'London & New York' on the rear. The strip of 14 illustrations and facing text are backed with linen and bound as a panorama into a wallet covered in light green cloth 96 x 115 mm. The wallet is titled in dark blue with an inset panel containing an illustration of the rabbit. The cloth is rubbed on the folds and shows some fraying around the slot but otherwise sound. The tab is firmly attached. Three illustrations have old vertical creases from misfolding, demonstrating the reason Warne issued only two titles in this format which was intended for younger children. A very presentable example of a fragile item.

Original cloth boards are stained and faded with light marks. The joints are holding well, with just a little splitting on the inside of the book, some minor wear to the concertina folds and the usual vertical creasing to a few of the story/illustration panels as is often the case withe delicate concertina folding books .

Potter, Beatrix. THE STORY OF MISS MOPPET. Frederick Warne and Co, London and New York, 1906.
Price: US$1250.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: First edition, second issue of a timeless tale of kitten and mouse, one of only two Beatrix Potter titles published in wallet binding form. Frederick Warne and Co. intended to publish three new Beatrix Potter titles in special wallet bindings for the Christmas season of 1906, but only two made it to the press, one of which is MISS MOPPET. Like many innovative marketing pushes, the accordion-fold format of the wallet bindings came with unforseen challenges: Potter recalled in later correspondence how "the shops sensibly refused to stock them because they got unrolled, and so bad to fold up again" (Linder, 183). An interesting publishing experiment with a children's classic. 4.5'' x 3.5''. Original green cloth wallet binding with color pictorial center panel and blue lettering, with silver accent. With 14 color illustrations. [28] pages with green borders, printed one side only, bound accordion-style and backed with light green cloth. Binding with some wear to corners and rear joint of flap, spot of soil to rear; scuffing to silver accent. Binding hinges with minor cracking, light wear to hinges of leaves; small scuff to second illustration. Clean and bright.

Price: US$2000.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: First edition, rare deluxe issue, of this charming story about a humanized frog's efforts to catch fish for a dinner party. Much like her iconic PETER RABBIT, MR. JEREMY FISHER began as a story letter from Beatrix Potter to the child of a friend. After PETER's publication, Potter speculated that she "could make something out of" MR. JEREMY as well (Linder). When her publisher questioned the accuracy of her frog illustrations, she "brought the live Jeremy to the office in a jam jar" to back up her stylistic choices (Linder). The deluxe binding of this copy is not listed in Jane Quinby's bibliography of Potter's works. 5.5'' x 4''. Original blue cloth binding with gilt lettering and embellishment, and color pictorial paste-on. All edges gilt. Endpapers with illustrations of other Beatrix Potter animal characters including PETER RABBIT. Illustrated in color. 86 pages. Hinges expertly repaired. Gift inscription to front flyleaf dated "New Year's Day 1907." Binding with some scuffing to boards, toning to edges and spine. Leaves with occasional soiling and wear to margins; hinges repaired.
