About this Item

First edition of this delightful tale of young Jack and Betty's romp through various fairy tales and nursery rhymes, with doors to open and holes to peep through. The book relates the adventures of two little children with many humanized objects and animals, told with the help of the clever cut-outs. Each page has a moveable flap or aperture that the child can cut out. When lifted, the flaps reveal part of the next page that also happens to fit into the page one is reading. On one adventure they travel down a telescope into Wonder-land, in another they go to Fairy Land. Printed on coated paper and featuring great color illustrations by George Alfred Williams (who with his wife also produced all the Glue novelty books). Clever and a nice copy. 11'' x 8.75''. Original red cloth boards with large color pictorial onlay and die-cut hole. Illustrated in color. 64 pages, the majority with moveable flaps or peepholes. Spelling activity on page 24 lightly completed in pencil. Binding with a hint of edgewear. Leaves with occasional faint soil to margins; several flaps with light edgewear, one with a small chip. Colors bright. Seller Inventory # 24385
