Frederick Warne & Co., 1892 hardback edition, brown linen boards with gilt lettering/illustrations to cover and spine. Copy is in fair to good condition, clearly some shelf wear to outer boards (see photos) and carries inscription on inside for achieving 2nd division at Sunday School, some foxing to pages as well. Overall, a fair-to-good copy.
