Description
11" (28 cm.) x 8 1/2". The 94-page book is filled with extraordinary illustrations of popular nursery rhymes, edited and illustrated by W.W. Denslow, 1901 for McClure, Phillips & Company. The extreme rarity of the book is enhanced further by its imaginative and vibrant illustrations, offering clever renditions of the popular classic rhymes. The condition is extremely worn, the book is complete albeit binding is completely loose, some wear at ends of many pages. The book was a particular favorite of young Shirley Temple, its early publication date suggesting it may have come to her already well-appreciated by unknown previous owners.
