(description)

 

Author : Beatrix Potter
Title : The Tale of Timmy Tiptoes.
Publisher : New York,  Frederick Warne & Co. no date (circa 1911-1914 according to endpaper (Quinby Plate X)).   
Size : 6 " X 4,5 "  
Pages : 84 pages 
Binding : Very good dark green boards binding with white titles, picture onlay on front board, dot in the centre of 'of' on front board (hinges fine, overall slightly worn and scuffed) under a removable mylar cover.
Content : Very good content (bright, tight and clean, Xmas 1915 gift note on half title page- as shown).
Illustrations : Profusely illustrated with 26 beautiful colour plates (printed on one side of paper).

The book : Rare and attractive early american edition of the Tales of Timmy Tiptoes - intended to please her American readers, the main animal characters in the book are indigenous to North America: grey squirrels, chipmunks, and a “large bear”. The inclusion of yellowhammers (Emberiza citrinella, the birds which sing “Little bita bread and-nocheese!”) was a mistake, as their range includes Europe and much of Asia but not America. 

The author : Helen Beatrix Potter (28 July 1866 – 22 December 1943) was an English writer, illustrator, natural scientist, and conservationist best known for her children's books featuring animals, such as those in The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
