1945, 3rd impression of 1st edition.
A much read and much loved collection of fairy tales, folk tales and nursery rhymes, with the common theme of animals, such as The Three Bears, Ashputtel (Cinderella) Who Killed Cock Robin and many more. The book is very worn and damaged but the pages are still intact and it is in readable condition.
Red binding the spine has factory split and separated at front board so it is hanging off. There is a library bookplate and owner inscription. Hinges are splitting and webbing is visible but all pages are present and intact.
