Description
Fritz let his "roast" cook for about two hours; and it was not without astonishment that, after having taken off the triple layers of earth, cinders, and stones, the most delicious odour saluted our olfactories. Here we offer a very scarce stated second French-language edition of the classic adventure story, The Swiss Family Robinson , by Johann Wyss and published by A.B. Mame and Company, Tours, in 1839. Both volumes are included here, featuring tissue-protected illustrations and bound in leather with marbled endpages. Bindings are worn, but intact and pliable for an easy read (please see pics). Some minor stains/fingerprints. Very tight and square binding; very clean, bright, and crisp text and illustrations. 308 and 272 pages, respectively; they measure approximately 7 x 4.25-inches. This wonderful leather set will make a wonderful addition to your collection or a very thoughtful gift.

The book was very well packed to avoid damage. It is in perfect condition and the cool little articles are a plus. It is exactly as described no tear, stains or damage. It shipped quickly and arrived super fast. It is a great value for such a unique book. The whale sticker and bookmark are a nice touch. My 17 year old son is a huge Herman Melville fan. This is his birthday present. Thank you for such a great transaction.

I just received this book and I had to look through it immediately! I am in love with it! I can’t wait to show my grandchildren because I know they will love it also! It also comes with a map of OZ and a copy of an article talking about the author and book! I highly recommend getting this . It was packaged perfectly, shipping was very reasonable and it is exactly as described!!
