24 pp

24pp. of Dr Hoffmann's gleefully chilling cautionary tales. Foxing to endpapers. Previously owned by the illustrator Sheila Jackson (the signature on the flyleaf is dated 1954). Oddly, due to a printing error, there are two identical page 13s. Some rubbing to boards and chipping to edges, but generally a good, bright copy.

100th Edition 24 pages. Printed on boards and bound with concertinaed cloth. This is the 100th edition - it was first printed in 1845 - so it has a celebratory panel inside the front cover. One or two instances where it looks as though a careful child might have painted in a bit of the picture, not sure, otherwise it's all there in its gleeful technicolour macabreness. However there are a couple of light children's crayonnings of their names on the back cover and a bit of light crayon marking on pages 9-10, with a bit of grubbying elsewhere.The cloth covering on the spine has come away and the front board is browned and a bit damaged at the edges.
