Hardcover in jacket.

First American edition. A collection of fairy tales from the nations allied with Britain in The Great War - that is, World War I. illustrated with sixteen tipped in water color illustrations and a decorative line drawing on the title page of each story. Includes Snegorotchka from Russia, The Buried Moon from England, The Serpent Prince from Italy; The Hind of the Wood from France, White Caroline and Black Caroline from Flanders, The Fire Bird from Russia; Urashima Taro from Japan; The Story of the Bird Feng from China, and others. Large format. 173 pp. POOR condition in the original black and gold elaborately illustrated boards. The front cover is detached, but present, one tipped in plate is missing (p 159), some fraying and wear to the edges of the boards and the corners. Other than the missing plate the contents are very good - and this is a still appealing copy of a beautiful book at a reasonable price.
