Rebacked, edges worn, light rubbing to front and rear boards, internal foxing, else an internally bright copy with the hand-colored lithographs quite vibrant.

Circa 1850 edition. An early edition featuring three of the most beloved of Charles Perrault’s fairy tales: Cinderella, Puss in Boots, and Little Red Riding Hood.
