This is a rare little Edwardian-era storybook dating to 1910.
It is part of the Shakespeare Series. 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.
There 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.
Helen Grace Culverwell Marsh-Lambert (1888 - 1981) was a British writer and illustrator of children's books and postcards. She was born in Bristol.
My 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.
Spoiler Alert: The moral of the tale is to never speak to strangers in the woods!!!
Probably 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.
