Small quarto. (8)ff. Bingham's verse retelling of two popular fairy tales and four nursery rhymes is accompanied by black-and-white line drawings in the text, and six tab-activated movable color illustrations with double action. The change in illustration follows the narrative arc of the story in question; for instance, we see Little Red Riding Hood being outfitted by her mother, then, the first pull of the tab reveals her meeting with the Wolf, and the second shows her confronting the Wolf in her grandmother's bed. Perrault's tale is followed by Humpty Dumpty, Bo-Peep, Hey-Diddle-Diddle, Mother Hubbard, and The Three Bears. The action required to change the images, coupled with the famously brittle paper used in the production of these movables, which were printed in Bavaria, make intact, working survivals quite rare. All leaves have been tabbed, and the spine reinforced, and there are some marginal paper repairs, otherwise contents clean and all movables in perfect working order. Some rubbing and rounding to corners, previous owner's name on upper cover and gift inscription on front endpaper verso dated 1911. Very good or better in cloth-backed glossy printed boards.
