Bates, Katharine Lee - edited by / Illustrated by Margaret Evans Price Tom Thumb and other Old-time Fairy Tales Once Upon a Time Series
Chicago / New York Rand McNally & Company 1931 Second edition Hardcover Very Good Margaret Evans Price
A large format children's book with 3 colour full page illustrations and 26 quarter / half page colour illustrations presented with five classic fairy tales -Tom Thumb, The Goose Girl, Blue Beard, Jack and the Beanstalk and Puss in Boots. Margaret Evans Price was an accomplished illustrator but she did not leave a great body of work - possibly because she was diverted into her other business interest of founding Fisher-Price toys with her husband. As eventually the art director at Fisher-Price she allegedly designed many of the toys after the illustrations in her earlier children's' books. Paper covered boards with a striking black and white background pattern with a large colour illustration on the upper board and a fairy silhouette on the lower board. 31x25 cm. Unpaginated - 34 pp. Corners worn; top/tail backstrip crushed with a little loss of covering paper. Faint remnants of a scribble line on title page and short closed tear to edge. Contents clean and fresh.
