This colorful hardback children's book is a fun book to read to children. From 1961, The Fairy Tale Tree features short stories throughout the world to read to children. Filled with colorful modern abstract style images. It does have a condition problem in that the front binding is separating (see last photo). It still is perfectly readable and all pages connected. I'm offering at a discounted price because of this defect. The endpaper is inscribed by my Aunt and Uncle in 1964. It's from my personal collection one owner was read to me often. :)

The dust jacket is torn in places. The binding is slightly coming apart in the front interior in one place. No library markings, no pen/pencil scratches, cut pages, etc. I see no markings, which is quite rare for a children's book.

Lovely inside full of color abstract modern images. A great book to read to inspire creative thinking in children.
