This beautiful edition of Feathered Friends of Stream and Shore by Eleanor E Helme was published by the Religious Tract Society. The book itself is undated but after doing some research, I'd estimate it to be late 1920's or early 1930's. It was first published in 1929.
The book is bound in green cloth and still has it's original dust jacket. It's in very good condition but the DJ shows wear and tear to the edges, with some loss to the head of the spine. The spine is sunned and rubbed. There is spotting to the green cloth and foxing to the text block edges.
Inside, the pages show light age toning and scattered foxing throughout. The book features both black and white illustrations within the text and colour plates.
Dimensions approximately 16.3cm x 12.2cm x 2cm.
The book will arrive hand wrapped in patterned wallpaper and string.
I use a range of eco friendly, 100% recyclable jiffy bags and boxes, and whenever possible I use brown paper tape. The green bubble wrap is oxo-degradable and the clear bubble wrap is 100% recyclable. I also reuse boxes when I feel it's appropriate (if the boxes are sturdy enough).
