Internally some minor spotting and small closed tear in tissue guard in front of frontispiece, else neat, clean and bright. Gutter cracked between front endpapers. A children's story - a very early take on fantasy/science fiction, reworking the well-known Raspe character. Very hard to find title. We have more books by Charles Henry Bennett in stock. 4to
