Description: Later Edition. [1903 stated verso titlepage]. 11 cm x 14,5 cm. Frontispiece, 85 pages. Original, illustrated Hardcover with illustrated original endpapers. Binding firm ! Stain to frontcover. Uper spine slightly damaged. Otherwise in very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Interior very good with very few signs of foxing. Front endpapers starting (see the images i took of front and rear endpapers !). Helen Beatrix Potter (28 July 1866 - 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Born into an upper-class household, Potter was educated by governesses and grew up isolated from other children. She had numerous pets and spent holidays in Scotland and the Lake District, developing a love of landscape, flora, and fauna, all of which she closely observed and painted. Though Potter was typical of women of her generation in having limited opportunities for higher education, her study and watercolours of fungi led to her being widely respected in the field of mycology. In her thirties, Potter self-published the highly successful children's book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit. Following this, Potter began writing and illustrating children's books full-time. In all, Potter wrote thirty books; the best known being her twenty-three children's tales. With the proceeds from the books and a legacy from an aunt, in 1905 Potter bought Hill Top Farm in Near Sawrey, a village in the Lake District, which at that time was in Lancashire. Over the following decades, she purchased additional farms to preserve the unique hill country landscape. In 1913, at the age of 47, she married William Heelis, a respected local solicitor from Hawkshead. Potter was also a prize-winning breeder of Herdwick sheep and a prosperous farmer keenly interested in land preservation. She continued to write and illustrate, and to design spin-off merchandise based on her children's books for British publisher Warne, until the duties of land management and her diminishing eyesight made it difficult to continue. She died of pneumonia and heart disease on 22 December 1943 at her home in Near Sawrey at the age of 77, leaving almost all her property to the National Trust. She is credited with preserving much of the land that now constitutes the Lake District National Park. Potter's books continue to sell throughout the world in many languages with her stories being retold in song, film, ballet, and animation, and her life depicted in a feature film and television film.

Price: US$1000.00 + shipping

Condition: Very Good

Description: First edition of this charming story of a mouse's efforts to keep her house tidy in the face of numerous insect visitors - one of Beatrix Potter's scarcer titles. Beatrix Potter's early "microscopic studies showing the beautiful coloured scales of butterflies' wings, and the highly magnified anatomy of spiders and beetles" informed her loving drawings of MRS. TITTLEMOUSE's various arthropod house guests (Linder, 205). Potter's publisher, though, was not quite as warm to the insect characters: her initial inclusion of wood-lice irked Warne, who "did not consider [the wood-louse] a suitable creature to mention in a children's book" (Linder, 205). Potter was able to retain the wood-lice illustration in the final publication, but instead of calling the insects by their proper names, she changed them to "three creepy crawly people" to appease Warne's delicate sensibilities. 5.5'' x 4.25''. Original blue paper boards with color pictorial center panel and white lettering. Color decorative endpapers of other Beatrix Potter characters. Illustrated in color throughout. 86 pages. Binding with a touch of sunning to spine, mild bumping to corners and spine ends. Leaves with a couple tiny spots of soil to margins, little abrasion to gutter of pages 16-17; small careful repairs to margins of pages 41-44. Bright.
