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.
Raphael Tuck & Sons was founded in London in 1866 by German-Jewish immigrant Raphael Tuck, growing into one of the world's leading publishers of greeting cards, postcards, and children's books; the firm held Royal Warrants from Queen Victoria and successive monarchs, and its Father Tuck imprint became especially prized for the quality of its miniature and novelty children's books.
