Titles in gilt to the upper board and spine. All edges gilt. With a frontispiece and 26 colour illustrations by the author. An excellent, better than very good copy, the binding square and firm with a little rubbing and bumping at the spine tips and corners. The gilt remains bright. The contents with a faded contemporary gift inscription to the blank reverse of the frontispiece are otherwise clean and bright throughout. A lovely example in the scarce deluxe binding of the first printing of Beatrix Potter's The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes.
