Item comes from a pet free, smoke free, child free home, and will be posted using Royal Mail Special Delivery (Next Day) within five working days of receipt of payment, although in all likelihood it won't take quite that long. The book has been valued at between £250 and £350 (see below). Otherwise it's a relatively clean copy in good condition for its age, and is a wonderful edition to add to or start your collection. There is a red coloured stain on the back cover, a watermark on the front cover, and rubbing marks on the front endpaper where it looks like pencil marks have been removed. It also has a full page colour frontispiece with tissue guard, although the age of the tissue guard has caused some discolouration to the 2 surrounding pages. It has 3 double page silhouettes with some colouring, 13 full page black and white illustrations and 36 drawings throughout the text, with green and white pictorial endpapers. The item on offer is a 1919 first UK edition of Cinderella, retold by CS Evans and illustrated by the wonderful Arthur Rackham.
