The boards are in very good condition with some light rubbing and bumping to the corners and to the head and tail of the spine, and a few very minor faded speckles to the rear board.

The contents of this book are also very good. The pages are lightly age toned with some light spots of foxing, mostly to the preliminary pages. Light spotting to the page edges. Featuring a tipped in colour frontispiece with captioned tissue guard, and a further six beautiful tipped in colour plates. 
 
Overall a beautiful and highly collectible book of fairy tales.
