Best.-Nr. 4285London United Kingdom: Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd. hardcover. Good. Beatrix Potter. Publication: London Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd. c. 1920s Formatting: 16mo unpaginated. Condition Report: Good. The original tan boards remain structurally sound but exhibit general shelf-wear indicative of a well-loved century-old children's book including rubbing to the extremities and slight bumping to the corners. The spine is intact but shows minor wear and slight fraying at the head and tail though the binding itself remains reasonably tight with no severe separation of the text block. The front cover's circular pictorial pastedown retains its brightness with only faint surface scuffing. Internally the pages are largely clean and supple displaying occasional mild handling marks faint spotting and natural age-toning. A previous ownership inscription in pencil marks the front free endpaper but the primary text and illustrations remain entirely unobstructed and vibrant. Catalogue Note: Originally published in a continuous panoramic wallet format in 1906 The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit proved difficult for booksellers to stock and children to unfold without tearing. As a result Frederick Warne & Co. re-issued the title in this standard bound-book format beginning in 1916. This particular copy is an early reprint from this standard-format era. The presence of "Ltd." on the title page's publisher imprint indicates a publication date of 1919 or later after the publishing house incorporated. The volume features the classic Beatrix Potter illustrated endpapers and all of the original charming albeit cautionary colour plates that have made her work a staple of early 20th-century children's literature. While later editions of Potter's works are relatively common well-preserved early reprints from the 1920s still command steady interest on the open market particularly when retaining bright original boards. A charmingly straightforward cautionary tale The Story of a Fierce Bad Rabbit follows a naughty rabbit who rudely steals a carrot from a good well-behaved counterpart. However karma quickly intervenes when a hunter mistakes the fierce bad rabbit for a wild target. In a sudden flash and a bang the bad rabbit learns a harsh lesson losing his stolen prize; along with his tail and whiskers. Written specifically for babies and very young children Beatrix Potter's simplest narrative remains a witty timeless reminder that bad behaviour rarely goes unpunished. Frederick Warne & Co. Ltd. hardcover
