Bookseller Notes

'Second edition' means second Kendrew printed edition. This edition is not only rare, it has a most interesting ownership inscription.The inside front cover is inscribed in pencil 'Miss Chester, Beach Lane, Stretton, [Nr?] Burton-on-Trent, Given to her by her Grandma.' Liking this book as we do, we have had many copies in various editions, but we don't recall any with such a inscription, demonstrating grand-maternal solicitude. This may explain the Milton on the label.

Description

with a woodcut frontispiece and 8 woodcuts in the text, poorly printed, a few edges frayed with the loss of some letters on one leaf, some foxing and soiling, 2 of the woodcuts scribbled on in pencil, pp. [ii, half-title - reading 'A new and enlarged edition'] iv, 360, 12mo, contemporary half calf, flat spine gilt in compartments, black lettering piece lettered 'Milton', corners worn and lacking leather, sound, inscription inside front cover (see below)
