Please examine our other listings. AUCTIONED HERE is a very rare British first edition, Norse Fairy Tales, Selected and Adapted from the Translations of Sir George Webbe Dasent . Published by George Routledge & Sons Limited, London. No date, but thought to be approximately 1920. Beautifully bound in decorated chromolithograph prints on paper. This kind of binding is notoriously fragile, and as this was a children's book, very few copies have survived.

Stories include Jack and the Troll, East of the Sun and West of the Moon, Reynard Tastes Horseflesh, Jack and his Brothers, The Twelve Wild Ducks, too much to list. VERY scarce.
