Tiny enough to fit in a coat pocket — and published by one of the most prestigious names in Victorian and Edwardian children's books.
Raphael Tuck & Sons held the Royal Warrant as fine art publishers to the King, Queen, and Queen Mary — and their Father Tuck Little Books were miniature jewels of the children's book world. This pocket-sized hardcover, illustrated by Peggy Rushton, retains its original dust jacket, a near-miracle for a book of this age and size. The illustrations are the soft, sweet kind that defined mid-century British children's publishing at its most charming.
An exceptional find for Raphael Tuck collectors, miniature book enthusiasts, or anyone who loves beautiful small things.
