Reprint, first thus. 309 pages + 1 of ads. A small pocket-sized edition, firmly bound in the publisher's full red leather binding, lettered and decorated in gilt to the spine, the leather is slightly marked and rubbed and the spine is age toned. The text block is lightly age toned, there are some light spots of foxing, minor marks and a couple of dog-eared corners. Remarkably, the book retains its original protective card slipcase, covered in the publisher's red patterned 1798 paper, it is toned, marked, bumped, rubbed and faded, and beginning to split at points. Ransome's excellent and highly successful collection of Russian folklore tales, reworked for an English audience. Its first appearance in this format and this a remarkably well-preserved example, looking to have been little read.…

New edition, reprint. 92 pages. Undated but probably 1921 or 1934. The book is quite firmly bound in the publisher's cream coloured cloth, lettered and decorated in dark green, with grey endpapers front and rear, the boards are somewhat rubbed and marked, more so to the spine, with bumping to the extremities. The text is slightly foxed, age toned, marked and dusty. A rare and interesting edition, noted as: "adapted for schools" on the Second and Third series, issued three times according to Hammond, in 1918, 1921 and 1934, and in three volumes or series. It was a significantly altered edition, and presumably not by Ransome, with editorial changes to the language, and additions. The stories are simplified, presumably to make them accessible for very young children in the first year or two of school, probably intended to be read by the teacher and as a general aid to learning. This is quite a well-preserved example considering its original purpose.…

New edition, likely first thus. Undated but circa 1918 112 pages. The book is reasonably firmly bound in the publisher's red cloth, lettered and decorated in black, the boards are somewhat rubbed, bumped and faded, with minor marks. The text block is quite heavily age browned, a stamp to the front endpaper indicates that it was once property of the 'English Speaking Library' at the British Embassy in Berne, the pages are slightly marked and stained. A rare and interesting edition: "adapted for schools", issued three times according to Hammond, in 1918, 1921 and 1934, and in three volumes or series. This judging from the poor paper quality is the original 1918 issue. It was a significantly altered edition, and presumably not by Ransome, each story has an added introduction by Old Peter, for instance 'The Three Men of Power' begins with Peter being prompted to tell the tale to calm the children because there is a storm raging outside. The language of the stories themselves is also simplified, e.g. the anonymous editor substitutes lamps for lanterns. Presumably then, intended for very young children in the first year or two of school, probably to be read by the teacher and as a general aid to learning.…

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Small name and address to top of front page. Exterior, buff, very clean, neat and fresh looking and so is the text . A small bump to top right hand front. The dust wrapper has a few marks to the front and is a little faded to spine, with very slight scuffing to top and bottom of spine. There is no publishing date inside so presume this is the first Harcourt, Brace & Co edition. Inside front dust jacket, at end of the reviews just above the Harcourt, Brace and Company ( is printed: (A Reynal and Hitchcock book) The price of this book is given as $2 .75 on the front flap which is lower than any other prices given for a Harcourt Printing/impressions of this title. At the back, with more reviews of the set of four Poppins books, is quoted a revue of the last book "Mary Poppins in the Park", dated 1952, so again we presume that the book is perhaps 1953 or a bit later? A very nice copy of this classic. Mitrokhin, Dmitri (illustrateur).…
