Format: Paperback
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

An exclusive 12-volume Folio Society edition of these classic tales, produced in time-honoured fashion, retaining all the charm of the Beatrix Potter's original. Who can fail to love Beatrix Potter's wonderful drawings and tales? Her characters are so delicately coloured, so charmingly composed and each animal is so cleverly observed and realised. Her love for animals and landscape is obvious and it is clear how much work went into every story, every drawing. This edition has been specifically designed to reproduce the spirit of the originals. A particular type of open weave cloth with traditional starch filling, not the acrylic coating of modern cloth, was sought to give each of the 12 volumes the distinctive look and feel of books of the period. From the blind-blocked impression on the cover that holds the differently shaped labels, to the gilding on the top edge of each little book, the results are beautiful, and spring the stories to life. Every child will delight in the tales of Jemima Puddle-Duck, Cock Robin, Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle and Peter Rabbit – in fact it's hard to imagine childhood without the comforting presence of these and all her delightful characters. 12 volumes. Bound in full cloth, blocked in gold with inset printed label. Top-edge gilt. Endpapers printed in an original design. 4¾" x 4½"
