1927réf. 0005609London: "The Children's Companion" Office 1927. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 4 colour plates plus numerous black-and-whites by H. KA. Robinson. Quarto unpaginated clothbacked pictorial paper over boards a trifle loose extremities rubbed inked name on endpaper. 4 colour plates plus numerous black-and-whites by H. KA. Robinson. A scarce tome. Stories on "The Fairy of Simple Joy" "The Smile of the Sea Princess" " The Magic Knitting" "The Brave Tin Soldier" & "The Little Mermaid". Robinson's artwork is quite colorful and appealing the cover art is softer and more pastel and I am guessing that Robinson was an in-house illustrator for The Children's Companion but I find no listing of him/her in the DICTIONARY OF 20TH CENTURY BRITISH ILLUSTRATORS.

2002réf. 001385Cornwall UK: GISS 'ON BOOKS 2002. This book has the added attraction of having a loosely laid in folded note which has been signed and inscribed by Simon Parker to the famous Poldark novelist Winston Graham. The note looks to be of the same paper used for the books pages so it has probably been signed by Simon Parker at the publishers. Both writers have strong connections with Cornwall. Book is in excellent condition and is possibly unread. Scarce having been signed. A lovely copy. Signed by Author. First Edition. Fine/Fine. FIRST EDITION. GISS 'ON BOOKS unknown
