A few very tiny chips to spines. Tips slightly bumped and with some rubbing. Housed in a morocco-tipped cloth slipcase. Overall a handsome and desirable set which shows very well and the text is very clean. ìMost of the borders are leaf and stem but among the leaves hiding or beckoning climbing or leaning out are girls and men kings and boys priests and nuns who take part or seem to be commenting upon the stories.the pattern continues affectionate and cheeky erotic enjoyable and relevant decorative and explanatory a balance of taste and eye. Borders are repeated sometimes in new combinations. To start a new tale we have more elaborate and descriptive work with a red or blue initial letter.There they are the characters in the tale with their stage scenery.One other quality in these borders should be noticedótheir mannerism the distortion of human figures sometimes so that they almost share the forms of leaf and stemóand sometimes grow from them. It is another rather touching aspect of GillÃs idea and all these manners work towards a single artóthe poetry people leaves decoration and explanation. Author artist and printer have shared one concept and expressed itî Colin Franklin The Private Presses pp. 143-144. Chanticleer 63. Gill 281.
