First Joyce Mercer illustrated edition. Complete with sixteen colour plates, and monochrome illustrations throughout. Publisher's red cloth, extremities rather bumped, the spine ends similarly bumped resulting in light losses, occasional scratches to spine and boards. Binding a little strained and shaken at the hinges. Pages with some light handling marks throughout and occasional spots, but generally appearing bright. A beautifully illustrated collection of fairy tales with Mercer's striking Art Deco colour plates.
