1886 1ed Jack and the Beanstalk Tennyson Caldecott Illustrated Fairy Tales Kids

1886 1^ed Jack and the Beanstalk Tennyson Caldecott Illustrated Fairy Tales Kids

A rare first edition of the final work by esteemed 19^th-century illustrator, Randolph Caldecott, ‘Jack and the Bean-Stalk.’ This delightful pictorial retelling of the famous English fairy tale was written by Hallam Tennyson and published in 1886. Nearly complete Caldecott would pass before completing his work for this book. Despite being unfinished, in memoriam for Caldecott, the publisher elected to utilize his 30 charming sketches in their “incomplete” state. A timeless tale accompanied by timeless art. A must-own for any collector of children’s tales.
