Description: Dive into the enchanting world of "The Sea Fairies," a true rare first edition 1911 treasure by L. Frank Baum, renowned author of the Oz series. Published by The Reilly & Britton Co in Chicago, and illustrated by John R. Neill, this hardcover cloth-bound volume is a gem for lovers of children's literature and fantasy. Richly illustrated by John R. Neill, the book is a visual delight, bringing the mystical tales to life. This true first edition shows binding variant ‘’A’’ and does show the misprints where lines are transposed (last 2 lines on pg 95, and lines on pg 14 and 15 as well as pg 105). Picture of pg 95 shown for example. Please see all pictures for condition. The front cover/corners do show some wear and the bottom part of front hinge is loose. The interior does show some smudges with the former owner’s name written in pencil. However the illustrations and color plates are in great condition, and the 12 colored plates show a beautiful gilded framing that is still vibrant. This would be an excellent addition for any collector of antique, children’s or Oz book collector’s! Please feel free to ask any additional questions or for additional pictures. Willing to negotiate price :) This book was Baum’s first attempt at creating another fantasy land after his renowned success of his Oz series.
