A Apple Pie and Traditional Nursery Rhymes, Kate Greenaway — First Everyman's Library Children's Classics Edition

Publication: London, Everyman Publishers plc, 2002

Formatting: 8vo, pp. 96.

Condition Report: Near Fine. The green cloth binding is tight and square, displaying no discernible shelf-wear or bumping to the extremities. The spine's gilt lettering and black harlequin tooling remain vivid and unoxidised, while the inset pictorial plate to the front board is perfectly preserved, bright, and completely free from rubbing. Internally, the pages are crisp, bright, and entirely unmarked, with the binding holding firmly throughout. An exceptionally fresh and well-preserved copy.

Catalogue Note: First Everyman's Library Children's Classics edition. Beautifully produced, this edition revives Kate Greenaway’s beloved late-Victorian illustrations in their original vibrant colours, supplemented with charming endpaper illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard.

The Everyman's Library Children's Classics series is renowned for its high-quality, durable bindings and its commitment to preserving the golden age of children's book illustration. While standard Everyman editions are widely circulated, this specific title is increasingly scarce on the open market, particularly in such a well-preserved, unmarked condition.

A Apple Pie and Traditional Nursery Rhymes brings together Kate Greenaway's charming 1886 alphabet book alongside a delightful selection of classic children's verses. First published during the height of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Greenaway’s vivid, idyllic illustrations evoke a romanticised vision of rural childhood innocence, offering a whimsical escape that remains just as enchanting today as it was to its original Victorian audience.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
