Faeries.

A Very Good plus sound set bound in blue cloth with gilt stamping to the spine and front cover. Top edge gilt with deckled fore-edges. William Robinson (1838 – 1935) was an Irish practical gardener and journalist whose ideas about wild gardening spurred the movement that led to the popularising of the English cottage garden, a parallel to the search for honest simplicity and vernacular style of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Robinson advocated more natural and less formal-looking plantings of hardy perennials, shrubs, and climbers, and reacted against the High Victorian patterned gardening, which used tropical materials grown in greenhouses.The set contains a total of 66 chromolithographs with tissue guards as well as numerous black and white engravings.

[Illustrated Children's Book] Grimm, Wilhelm.
Dear Mili. Illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
A Fine tight copy in a Fine unclipped dust jacket. Once upon a time, Wilhelm Grimm sent a letter to a little girl called Mili. How, nearly 170 years later, in 1983, the letter was rediscovered. How it contained a tale about a lost child and how Maurice Sendak decided to turn the tale into a picture book. The pictures tell a story, and the imagery is saturated with the succession of feelings that are stirred up following the adventures of the little girl who is sent by her mother to hide in the forest while the storms of a terrible war sweep by.
