Orange cloth covers pristine, binding tight. 57pp. Interior pristine, with lovely, playful wood engravings, in six colors by Reed. d/j has small tear top edge and small loss at top of spine. In mylar protective jacket. Some of the rhymes are familiar, some unusual. Reed has attempted to re-create the style and flavor a long lost early copy (1760 or 1765) of "Mother Goose's Melody, or Sonnets for the Cradle," which is known by description only. More than 200 years later, Reeds illustrations stand up to any in print. A fine copy.
