London: Macmillan, 1909. First edition thus, illustrated by Goble, of the Victorian fairy story and proto-environmentalist children's book. Very good. Item #1924 Undoubtedly the most beautiful edition of the classic story, featuring some of Goble's best work. Nice clean copies are not easy to find.
