No. 35 of 75 copies bound in morocco octavo size 160 pp. signed by Gwenda Morgan with prospectus. Per the book's prospectus: "Among treasures sent out of Berlin for safety during the war were the notebooks of Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm. Among the manuscripts are a large number of the fairy-tales collected with tireless enthusiasm by the brothers and for various reasons a considerable proportion of these are not available to the general reader and are virtually unknown. Already in 1823 when Taylor made the first English translation it was realized that a further selection should be published in English to contain excluded stories which Taylor described as 'most curious' and 'of great merit'. He had felt bound to suppress them he wrote 'in deference to the scrupulous fastidiousness of modern taste especially in works likely to attract the attention of youth'. The fifty tales now printed in the Golden Cockerel selection are the cream of what we have called the Grimms' 'Other Tales' since none was included in their definitive German edition nor in Taylor's classic English translation."<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Full purple morocco gilt vignette of a giant on front board gilt vignette of a village with a castle on a hilltop in the distance on the rear board top edge gilt wood engravings by Gwenda Morgan n. b. the prospectus and bibliography both state that there are eleven wood engravings while the title page of the book states ten; we count nine full-page engravings the publisher's device on the title page and a headpiece that opens the first tale; Poliphilus type mouldmade paper octavo size just over 9.25" tall pagination: 1 2-160; one of 75 copies specially bound in purple morocco this number 35 total edition of 500 signed by Gwenda Morgan in blue ink on the colophon page.
