Folio. (10)pp. A collection of poems for children, illustrated with eight full-page color slatted transformations, all in working order. In one, three children play in summer hay fields. When a tab at the bottom is pulled, the image changes to a wintry scene. Another transformation reveals games of cat’s cradle or blind man’s bluff. Additional black-and-white drawings are scattered throughout the text. Some foxing to margins, not affecting transformations, rear board slightly scuffed, else a near fine copy in glazed pictorial boards with red cloth spine.
