Description: Signed limited edition, number 14 of 50 copies signed by the illustrator. This is a notably rare issue. In the 1927 Christmas Bookman this edition is described as one "undoubtedly. to be proud of" and Hughey notes that Dulac himself "liked these illustrations best of all his work". The illustrations show, in the opinion of Hughey, "a new Dulac style. Here he uses pale misty colours and creates little miniature gems of 18th century scenes. His perspective is altered too. The scenes are viewed from above and afar, as if one is looking through a telescope. No child reader could possibly feel threatened by any of the boisterous events because they take place at such a distance. The detailing and design of the pictures present some of Dulac's most careful and superb painting". Hughey 72. Quarto. Original full vellum, spine with blue morocco label lettered in gilt, top edge gilt. In publisher's slipcase. Frontispiece and 11 colour plates, together with other illustrations, all by Dulac. Some natural colour variance to vellum, some cockling to pastedowns, slipcase worn at extremities with some repairs; a fine copy in a good slipcase.
