The book is in fairly fine vintage condition and is now a rare survivor. The book is shaped and follows the illustration of Little Red Riding Hood on the front cover. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a selection of red, black and white illustrations inside. These were made by H.G.C Marsh Lambert - a much-celebrated illustrator of early 20th-century children's books. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelen Grace Culverwell Marsh-Lambert (1888 - 1981) was a British writer and illustrator of children's books and postcards. She was born in Bristol. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy booklet is a fair vintage condition. The cover displays well and has no tears or stains. It is a slim volume with less than a dozen pages  - all as illustrated. The top of the booklet is a little creased and there are some old marks on the paper; all commensurate with age.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eSpoiler Alert: The moral of the tale is to never speak to strangers in the woods!!! \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbably a little booklet for the collector of early Children's Books - it is very sweet and in fair enough condition for a nursery item now 124 years old.  I have priced this at a fair price taking into account that it is not in pristine condition.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40032976437312,"sku":"12\/12\/2023 West Castle","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1910-edwardian-childrens-nursery-book-red-riding-hood-illustrated-by-marsh-lambert-shakespeares-series-booklet-549.webp?v=1790137028","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/edwardian-childrens-nursery-book-red-riding-hood-lambert-marsh-shakespeares-series-1910","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
