THE WATER-BABIES. A Fairy Tale for a Land Baby.

First edition with these illustrations. Publisher's original heavy bevelled green cloth boards with gilt titles and illustrations in blue, brown and cream to the spine and upper board. All edges gilt. Illustrated with six colour plates and 70 half tone illustrations throughout by Arthur A. Dixon. A very good copy, the binding square and firm, the extremities a little rubbed.

A beautifully illustrated edition of Charles Kinglsey's victorian children's classic.
