Description: SLEEPING BEAUTY AND OTHER FAIRY TALES FROM THE OLD FRENCH (4 tales) retold by SIR ARTHUR QUILLER-COUCH based on tales from Charles Perrault illustrated by EDMUND DULAC Quiller-Couch was a well-known translator and commentator on folk and fairy tales, But the main appeal for me here is the beautiful art by Edmund Dulac! There are eight full-color plates, including the frontispiece, all rendered in sumptuous tones and impeccable detail, especially for the fabulous fashion. As a collector on a limited budget, I always felt it was better to have samples of the work, even if the book was not in the greatest condition - such as the case here. This book was bought used, but is in good condition. I take good care of my books in my smoke-free environment. Notes on condition: binding: blue cloth boards with blue stamped lettering on front board and decoration/lettering on spine; moderately soiled; light rubbing at corners and top and bottom of spine; definite dirt streak on front interior pages: overall clean, no tears, moderate discoloration from aging, with occasional age staining at edges of pages All eight color plates intact with two plates partially separated from binding Please see photos to get a sense of the condition and wonderful illustrations.

Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed.
