    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Very Scarce

    The very scarce first edition of this work.

    Written by Liberal Party politician R. C. Lehmann, a major contributor to Punch as well as founding editor of Granta magazine.

    With charming vignette monochrome illustrations throughout by popular illustrator Thomas Maybank.

    Undated; dated 1904 via the British Library.

    With a former owner's inscription, dated 1920, to the front free endpaper.

    A delightful children's tale in which the 'sun-child' visits earth, and does 'all kinds of good', according to a contemporary review in The Spectator.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original pictorial cloth binding. Externally, exceptional. Light fading to back strip. Inscription to front free endpaper. Internally, generally firmly bound, though a touch strained to the centre. Pages clean and bright.

    Very Good Indeed
