A Christmas Tree Fairy is a charming late-Victorian children’s picture book celebrating the enchantment of Christmas through poems and richly illustrated fairy-tale scenes. This edition epitomizes the gift-book style of the period, with its festive chromolithographs and magical storytelling intended to delight children during the holiday season. Its combination of verse and imagery reflects the era’s fascination with fairies, moral tales, and domestic Christmas traditions.
Bound in the original publisher's pictorial boards with a green cloth spine. The boards are in good condition overall, with some surface soiling, some rubbing and bumping to the corners and general wear to the extremities. The binding feels a little shaken and there is a crack to the hinge which has loosened the binding, but the contents are holding firm. Endpapers with some browning but otherwise clean and free from inscriptions. The contents are age toned with a few minor marks.
Featuring several delightful full-page chromolithographs (many signed "L.M.") alongside numerous monochrome illustrations in text.
