The Happy Annual

by Cecil Aldin, John Hassall

$150 · Offered by James Cummins Bookseller · No longer available

40 pp., containing Mother Goose poems printed in green and color illustrations after Cecil Aldin and John Hassall. 1 vols. 14 x 10 inches. Pictorial cloth-backed boards with drawing of Little Miss Muffett by Aldin reproduced on upper cover. Cloth spine splitting, upper cover slightly dampstained by a rose-tinted liquid, and most of the text block is sprung. Nonetheless, given its size, delicate construction, and original target audience, this a very good copy of a scarce and fragile book.
