Talk about a rare find! "The Miller's Daughter and Other Stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales" seems to be from the 1800's...why?
(from Wikipedia: The Publishing Company, William Collins, Sons & Co.was a Scottish printing and publishing company founded by a Presbyterian schoolmaster, William Collins, in Glasgow in 1819, in partnership with Charles Chalmers. The company was renamed William Collins, Sons and Co Ltd. in 1868 and they were well known for printing Bibles and in 1917, with Sir Godfrey Collins in charge, the firm started publishing fiction. Collins Crime Club (1930–94) published all of Agatha Christie's novels, starting in 1926, as well as the British editions of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe books).
By the way, "The Miller's Daughter" is much better known today as "Rumplestilskin"!!
We can safetly place this old hardcover between 1926 and 1934 as the look and feel of it would attest. The detriments: it is missing the 1st page (page 1 &2), two pages are loose, but here and included, the top left corner of the pasted-on cover is missing and on the back cover there seems to be a spot where someone carelessly ripped off a price lable. The Plusus are: This is very rarely seen at all and is the original British / Scottish release, all of the illustrations are here, except for page one (IF that page had one at all) and the binding, while old, is still pretty sturdy. THIS IS THE ONLY ONE OF THESE ONLINE!!
