Geoffrey Chaucer
Canterbury tales
Rendered into modern English by J.U. NIcholson. With illustrations by Rockwell Kent and an introduction by Gordon Hall Gerould.
Large 8vo, Deluxe Edition, in the publisher's tan cloth boards, now showing some general light wear and soiling, blind imprinted illustration to the center of front board, lacks original paper label, and blind Geoffrey Chaucer to bottom of board, red cloth onlay to spine, gilt lettering, some creasing and feathering to top of spine and bumping to lower spine, all edges a little knocked. Small white blotch to back board along with same amount of general handling, pictorial endpapers, former owner's signature to fly leaf along with ink blotch to rear of FFE, interior very clean, hinges still strong, illustrated throughout by Rockwell, a read copy that has been carefully handled and in very good condition; Garden City, New York, circa 1934.
A beautiful illustrated and printed copy. It does lack the original paper labels on the front board and spine, and there is a former owner's signature, but other than that, a very appealing copy.
Found by The Wandering Poetess in Stamford, CT
