| BEDIER, JOSEPH; TRANSLATED BY FLORENCE SIMMONDS; ILLUSTRATED BY MAURICE LALAU. The Romance of Tristram and Iseult. London:, William Heinemann,, 1910., First Edition thus, Hardcover. Small quarto, about 10.25 inches tall, in blue cloth decorated in gilt, black and white. 217 [218] pages illustrated by 20 tipped-in color plates by Maurice Lalau mounted on heavy gray paper. A nice telling of the 12th century romantic legend with attractive Arts & Crafts style illustration. Some very minor foxing to the endpapers and a blank leaf at front and back, but none elsewhere. The edges of the textblock are quite dusty and darkened but there is very little page edge darkening. There is light extremity wear, some light soiling at the fore edges of the covers, and barely perceptible darkening to the spine. Very Good.

| HAWTHORNE, NATHANIEL; ILLUSTRATED BY VIRGINIA STERRETT. Tanglewood Tales. Philadelphia:, Penn Publishing,, 1921., No Edition Indicated, Hardcover. Quarto in blue cloth stamped in gilt. 261 pages. This book should have a paste-down color illustration on the front cover. This copy does not have it and it clearly never did. It includes 22 illustrations, 10 of which are tipped in color with captioned tissue guards as well as a color illustrated title. A lovely edition of this popular collection of stories. There is a hint of toning to the paper and light brown stains on the verso of the title that look almost like residue from smoke, but there is no other sign of this flaw. The covers are ever so slightly rubbed at the extremities. Otherwise a bright, soundly bound, very gently used book. Very Good+.
