June. It was styled by Selina Lake and

photographed by Katya de Grunwald – turn

to p36 of this issue to see the blooms in

action alongside beautiful antique vases.

EXPERT ADVICE

ROSIE HODGE

Children’s and illustrated

book specialist at Henry

Sotheran Ltd

The Tale of Mr Tod was rst

published in 1912. The most important page to look at

when trying to determine whether a Beatrix Potter book

is a rst edition is the title page – generally speaking

the date of the rst edition should appear under the

publisher imprint. There are a couple of exceptions: the

two nursery rhyme books Appley Dapply and Cecily

Parsley. Incidentally Frederick Warne became a limited

company in 1919 and if you see a Frederick Warne and

Co Ltd mark this conrms a later printing date. From

the images provided the publisher code at the end of

the book designates a 1962 printing a late printing.

Surprisingly even rst editions in worn condition have

low commercial value; however rsts in ne condition

can command prices in the thousands of pounds.

I recently bought

this book in a

charity shop and

thought it must

have some age.

However I

have not been

able to confirm a publishing

date as it does not appear anywhere in the book.

I have attached some photographs and wondered

if any of your experts would be able to ascertain

the date and value if any?
