A scarce folio size Ernest Nister children's picture book! Dimensions are 13.0 x 11.0 inches. Delightful illustrations in vibrant chromo color and sepia sketches. Double page chromo of Toytown and sepia double page by Louis Wain. As is the nature of these larger books, some of the pages are loose ~ this particular copy has seen better days but still worthy of adding to your collection! SOLD AS SEEN. There are several small tears, as shown. There is also one very large tear horizontal center across page 'Christmas Time', as shown. Overall, the condition is fragile, loose from boards but no scribbles! The spine is firm without splits.
