Author: Swift, Jonathan

Bound in red cloth, with elaborate gilt designs on the front cover and spine. Spine and slightly discoloured front cover, interior perfect. 12 Rackham colour plates. "The publishers make no apologies for a new edition of this 'evergreen' book. They feel that the fine drawings of Mr. Arthur Rackham are reason enough for their appearance in this new form." "Most of the drawings appeared as line drawings in an edition published by the present publishers in 1899, but have since been reworked, revised and coloured by the artist, while a few entirely new drawings have been added..."
