About This Item
London: David Nutt, 1904. 8vo, pp. 51. Title-page illustrated and printed in red and black. Contemporary limp vellum decorated with gilt stipples, green silk ties. Binding a little marked. The sixth reprint of Andrew Lang’s (1844-1912) translation of this medieval French tale, first published in 1887. The publisher notes that the quick succession of printing was ‘in response to many and repeated demands, at such a price as will make it accessible to all’. Originally in wrappers, the binding here imitates those of the Kelmscott Press.
