More English Fairy Tales, Joseph Jacobs, John D Batten, 1st Edition, 1894

Very rare More English Fairy Tales collected by Joseph Jacobs and published in 1894 by GP Putnam's Sons. Wonderful illustrations by John Batten in black and white throughout.

"'This volume will come, I fancy, as a surprise both to my brother folk-lorists and to the public in general. It might naturally have been thought that my former volume (English Fairy Tales, Nutt, 1889) had almost exhausted the scanty remains of the traditional folk-tales of England. Yet I shall be much disappointed if the present collection is not found to surpass the former in interest and vivacity, while for the most part it goes over hitherto untrodden ground. The majority of the tales in this book have either never appeared before, or have never been brought between the same boards."

Spine tanned, chipped and crushed spine ends, darkened cover edges, bumped corners. Some foxing throughout, one page with annotations as pictured in last image. Binding secure.
