Small quarto, 366 pages, deckle-edges, boards, rebacked with paper, paper label on spine. Copy no. 18 of only 150 in large-paper. Black-and-white illustrations by H. J. Ford. This is the 3rd book in this series, and Lang promised no more in his Introduction; but that promise was to be broken many times. This volume includes "The Story of the Three Bears": this is the first variant of the tale in which the human visitor is an old woman. Here are other tales from French, Spanish, and Chinese sources. Here also is a different version of "The Three Little Pigs". It is known that J.R.R. Tolkien had read and commented upon this book, so he must have known "The Enchanted Watch" and "The Enchanted Ring", at least one of which may have given JRRT some ideas. First, Limited Edition & Large-Paper Edition.

Description de la librairie

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera.
