A Book Of Dwarfs
A Book of Dwarfs gathers Ruth Manning Sanders’s beloved folklore retellings into one handsome 1967 hardcover, its pages alive with Robin Jacques’s crisp line drawings. The stories, drawn from European oral tradition, celebrate the secret lives of dwarfs, gnomes and mountain folk in language that reads aloud beautifully to ages 4-8 yet still captivates adult fairy-tale collectors.
This vintage Methuen edition arrives clean and tight: no inscriptions, no dog-eared pages, no smoke or sun-fading, just light shelf marks on the illustrated boards and a faint blemish inside the front cover. The binding is firm, the colours bright, making it shelf-ready for bedtime story duty or display among antiquarian children’s books.
Fans of Ruth Manning Sanders, Alan Garner-style British folklore, or illustrated classics will prize Jacques’s atmospheric artwork as much as the text. Add this scarce dwarf-centric volume to a mythology, gnome or fairytale collection while it’s still nicely preserved.
