Potter, Beatrix. THE TALE OF PIGLING BLAND. , 1913.
Price: US$450.00 + shipping
Description: London: Frederick Warne and Co., 1913. Original grey-green paper-covered boards with cover pictorial onlay. First Edition of the author's nineteenth book, her second title (after THE TALE OF MR. TOD) to appear in the "New Series" that was unfortunately issued in a binding almost as fragile as the earlier titles. THE TALE OF PIGLING BLAND was most probably in Beatrix Potter's mind as early as 1910. This story about Pigling Bland has an element of truth in it, for on November 17th 1909, in one of Beatrix Potter's letters. she wrote "The two biggest little pigs have been sold, which takes away from the completeness of the family group. But they have fetched a good price, and their appetites were fearful -- five meals a day and not satisfied." Both the first and the second printing bear the date 1913 on the title page, and "are believed to be identical" [quotes from Linder]; the third is dated 1914. This copy is grey-green in color; others are in maroon (no priority). This is a near-fine copy, with very minor wear at the top of the spine and a few ink speckles on the fore-edge. Linder p. 429; Quinby 22.

Quinby Plate XIIA endpapers as called for. A very fine copy in the original (chipped) glassine wrapper. "Beatrix Potter, writer of some of the most beloved children's books of all time, was a woman of immense talent, indefatigable spirit, and a generous heart.Although she grew up in London, she was deeply influenced by long family holidays in the countryside, first in Scotland and later in the English lake district. As was the custom in families of her class, she was educated at home by governesses. An eager student of languages and literature, she grew up loving classic folk and fairy tales.Her talent for drawing and painting was discovered early and encouraged" (Beatrix Potter Society). Her career began with the release of the now-beloved Tale of Peter Rabbit; and her subsequent works expanded into a magical world of anthropomorphic animals such as Tom Kitten, Squirrel Nutkin, and Benjamin Bunny. Quinby 22a. Linder, p. 429 (UK edition).
