Blue hardcover cloth volume with gilt lettering and red ornamentation on spine. There is a little scratching on cover, but also a larger damp-stain on top of front cover. Some wear and minor staining on top of inside cover. No writing or similar markings in the book. Beautiful deckled fore edges.
Wonderful vintage edition of classic tales.
The volume comes with a clipping from Feb 12, 1955 edition of Toronto newspaper, The Globe and Mail, with an article “What Lincoln Found in Bible, Shakespeare” on one side, and a review of a youth Canadian hockey team on the other (including profiles of Don Berry, Jim Fairburn, Bernie Bathgate, Jack McIntyre, Dino Mascotto, Ernie Rucks, Mike Shabaga).
