Rare hardback children’s book titled Ruff & Ready; The Fairy Guide. Published in 1905 by Alf Cooke, London & Leeds. Written by May Byron and G. E. Farrow with illustrations by John Hassall.
Lots of illustrations and full colour plates.
Written as a parodic pastiche of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll and The Wizard of Oz by Frank Baum.
Has some wear, as can expected for a children’s book of this age. The spine is fragile with the cloth binding split, but holding and no pages loose or missing. The boards are marked but the colours still bright and vibrant.
