Hardcover. Etat : Good. Hardcover. Descend into the depths of enchantment on a spiral staircase of stories by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Maria Edgeworth, Ouida, the women's suffragist, animal rights activist, and socialist Mary de Morgan, and more! In this circa 1918 collection, bound in cloth the color of pumpkin spice and bearing a witch whisking away a slumbering child on its cover, you'll encounter a girl who marries a skull, magic candles that summon fairies good or bad based on one's intentions, enchanted streams guarded by fearsome dragons, and a princess who escapes the unbearable politeness of the court when a witch places an automaton in her stead, as well as timeless tales from Celtic, Norse, Italian, West African, Russian, Japanese, Greek, and Arthurian folklore. This "staircase of stories" is arranged by ascending complexity for growing readers from ages 4 to 14 and beyond, bountifully illustrated in a color frontispiece by Minnie Dibdin Spooner, 30 colored plates, and 41 black and white plates (4 of which have been colored in rather well by a previous reader) by such artists as Cecile Walton, Katharine Cameron, Olive Allen, Evelyn Beale, Cecil Aldin, and the great Walter Crane. 9 1/4" X 6 3/4". viii, [iv], 521pp. Presents nicely in protective archival jacket. Bound in deep orange cloth over boards, with color pictorial plate of M. D. Spooner's rendering of the witch and princess from Mary de Morgan's "The Toy Princess" to upper board, lettered in black to upper board and spine, with small vignettes of owls and staircase stamped in black. Moderate wear to binding, with rubbing, bumping, and small tears to corners and head and tail of spine, as well as faint scattered scratching and soiling to cloth. Substantial foxing to edges of text block and preliminaries, with scattered foxing to pages throughout and small neat tear to margin of pages 25-26. Bookseller's ticket of J. J. Banks & Son of Imperial Library, Cheltenham to front pastedown. Toning to endpapers. Binding is sound. Fully illustrated throughout in 31 color plates and 41 black and white plates, with black and white plates facing pages 235, 286, 509, and 514 colored in rather well by a previous owner. Christmas card, signed Maude, and drawing of sailboats laid in. This book is oversize and may require additional postal charges to ship internationally. Please contact us for a shipping quote today.

Hardcover. Etat : Good +. First Edition. First Edition. Hardcover. This signed and inscribed collection of nine enchanting fairy tales is the last work by the English writer Mary De Morgan (18501907), a women's suffragist, animal rights activist, and socialist whose politics informed her remarkable fairy tales, known for their feminism, criticism of mass production, and deviations from the traditional "happily ever afters" of the form. Mary De Morgan was the daughter of the mathematician Augustus De Morgan and the spiritualist, suffragist, and tutor to Ada Lovelace Sophia De Morgan; she was also the sister of novelist and ceramicist William De Morgan and sister-in-law to pre-Raphaelite painter Evelyn De Morgan. These influences, along with that of artist and radical socialist William Morris and his family, to whom she was a dear friend, were important ones in her work, both social and creative. This presentation copy comes signed and inscribed by Mary De Morgan "For Peggy with much love," accompanied by a hand-corrected armorial bookplate of the late archaeologist and friend of William Morris, John Henry Middleton (1846-1896), with "John Henry" in inked parentheses and "MM" inked above, likely both Peggy and MM refer to Mary Margaret Middleton (b. 1894), John Henry's daughter, from a line of "Peggys" on her father's side. Mary Margaret "Peggy" Middleton would have been 6 at the publication of The Windfairies, of an age and possibly playmates with the book's dedicateesEdward Burne-Jones' grandchildren, Angela (Thirkell), Dennis, and Clare Mackail. As De Morgan's debut collection of fairy tales On a Pincushion was born of an 1873 Christmas party which De Morgan's spent telling stories to the daughters of William Morris, the children of Edward Burne-Jones and their cousins (including the young Rudyard Kipling), this is an endearing hint that the fairy tales in her final collection, 23 years after her first, were told first to the next generation of children in the Morris and Burne-Jones familyand their young friends. In this final collection published during De Morgan's lifetime, wind fairies teach a miller's daughter how to dance only to have her accused of witchcraft, a rare tree and its beloved pool of water are separated and reunited through the magic of the water cycle, a fairy cat teaches a Scrooge how to be kind to those less fortunate, a boy's beautiful voice is stolen by an evil sorcerer and the girl who loves him goes on a quest to return it to him, and more--tree spirits who save shepherdesses, fairy goatherds who play bewitching music, enchanted cups that make one love or hate at a single sip, and a beautiful maiden made entirely of rainwater, each illustrated throughout, with a frontispiece and six plates, title head-pieces and decorative initials for each fairy tale, and numerous vignettes throughout by the artist Olive Cockerell, a dear friend also of the William Morris family, and known for her illustrations of fairy tales. This is a presentable signed first edition, inscribed by the author to a young girl, of this final collection of fairy tales by a remarkable woman in the history and development of the form, in the original decorated publisher's cloth binding featuring the characters from her stories, beautifully illustrated by a fellow gifted woman artist of the era, very uncommon in the trade. The Windfairies and Other Tales collects the following fairy tales: "The Windfairies," "Vain Kesta," "The Pool and the Tree," "Nanina's Sheep," "The Gipsy's Cup," "The Story of a Cat," "Dumb Othmar," "The Rain Maiden," "The Ploughman and the Gnome." This presentation copy comes signed and inscribed by Mary De Morgan "For Peggy with much love," at verso of title page, with armorial bookplate of the late archaeologist and friend of William Morris, John Henry Middleton, with "John Henry" in inked parentheses and "MM" inked above, likely both Peggy and MM refer to Mary Margaret Middleton, John Henry's daughter. 7 3/4" X 5 3/4". 236pp, plus four pages of ads. Bound in full blue cloth over bevelled boards, with upper board decorated in black and gilt with a floating fairy holding a miniature windmill, a child playing a horn, a cat, and a tree blossoming with stars, spine stamped in very faint and faded black with flying fairy and rain maiden below, both lettered in gilt. All edges gilt. Moderate wear to binding, with scattered rubbing, corners bumped and rubbed, light soiling to cloth, and frayed tears to head and tail of faded and sun-darkened spine. Some gatherings uneven; hinges are strong and binding remains quite firm and sound. Dust soiling to endpapers and very occasional spot to pages throughout, else unmarked. Illustrated in 7 plates, title vignettes, initials, and vignettes by Olive Cockerell.
