Catalogue Note
Trade editions. Presentation copies, each inscribed and with pen-and-ink drawings by Rackham. The Cinderella inscription is complemented by an original drawing (approx. 3 in. high) of the Fairy Godmother waving her wand at a mouse standing on its hind legs. Sleeping Beauty is illustrated with a drawing of a gesticulating elf. Both are inscribed on the half-title to "Fanny" from Edith and Arthur Rackham, at Christmas 1919 and 1920.
