Cinderella, Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin, all keeping good company in one 1922 volume. mflibra.com/products/1922-ra… This 1922 first-thus edition gathers twenty-five Grimm tales into one wonderfully inviting book.

Still in its bright red cloth with gilt and a mounted colour illustration, it’s the sort of old fairy-tale book that feels instantly at home on a collector’s shelf. #BookWithASoul #MFLIBRA #OwnAPieceOfHistory #GrimmsFairyTales #BrothersGrimm #JohnBGruelle #REmmettOwen #FirstThus #IllustratedBooks #FairyTales #VintageChildrensBooks #AntiquarianBooks #RareBooks #BookCollectors

Small, charming, and still dressed in its original 1923 jacket. mflibra.com/products/1923-ra… Peter Rabbit and Little White Rabbit is exactly the sort of little book that was meant to pass through small hands, which makes finding this 1923 Altemus edition with its original pictorial dust jacket especially pleasing. Inside, the two rabbits share their adventures among colour plates and little vignette drawings, all packed into a wonderfully small 5½ by 4-inch format. A lovely survivor from the nursery bookshelf. #BookWithASoul #MFLIBRA #OwnAPieceOfHistory #PeterRabbit #LittleWhiteRabbit #HenryAltemus #VintageChildrensBooks #DustJacket #IllustratedBooks #AntiquarianBooks #RareBooks #BookCollectors
