1991 Puss in Boots | Charles Perrault | Fred Marcellino | Second Printing Hardcover

£4.61 (plus tax)

Charles Perrault’s classic fairy tale Puss in Boots, translated by Malcolm Arthur and brought to life through Fred Marcellino’s richly detailed illustrations. This oversized picture book follows the clever, boot wearing cat whose elaborate schemes transform the fortunes of his penniless young master.

Marcellino’s artwork gives the centuries old tale an almost storybook painting quality, with expansive scenes, period clothing and expressive characters throughout. His illustrations for this edition were recognized as a 1991 Caldecott Honor Book, making this an especially lovely edition for a children’s classics collection. 

Published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. The copyright page identifies this copy as Second Printing, 1991, following the first edition published in 1990.

Condition: Good vintage condition. Interior pages appear clean and bright with beautiful full color illustrations. Hardcover remains intact. Dust jacket is present but shows noticeable vintage wear including rubbing, edge and corner wear, small tears and old tape/tape residue. Please see photos for exact condition.
