London, Frederick Warne, [1922].
First edition, first printing. One of the best copies we have seen of this neat little first edition of Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes by Beatrix Potter, sister volume to Appley Dapply (1917), both in terms of the nursery rhyme content and the format, but drawing more upon the earlier memories & associations of the author than its sibling. This collection does include Goosey, Goosey Gander and This Pig Went to Market.
First edition, first printing (with the correct front and rear endpapers according to Linder); 16mo (160 x 110 mm); colour frontispiece, plain title vignette, 14 colour plates, colour pictorial endpapers, a couple of small, light spots to fore-edge of text block (there are usually far more), otherwise near-fine; publisher's red boards with inset colour illustration, spine slightly sunned, a small mark to rear board and the slightest bowing to upper board, otherwise a near-find copy with not inscriptions and restoration.
Linder p.430; Quinby 26
