Description

First Edition, Illustrated, Original Binding, 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.

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.

Undated; dated 1904 via the British Library.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth. Externally very smart with slight fading to the spine, light marks to the boards, and very minimal rubbing to the extremities. Front free endpaper starting, with spotting to the endpapers. Front hinge tender after the front free endpaper, rear starting. Internally, binding slightly strained in places, with generally bright pages with spotting to the front, otherwise generally clean.

Overall: Very Good
