    Wow. That's fantastic. Is it a first edition? Totally jealous The illustrations would be amazing.

    Book antiquity places should be able to help. I've never really looked. It's a dream of mine to be able to gather a collection of old books. I picked up an 189? copy of Longfellow's collected works years ago at a market. It's a bit worm eaten, but still, it's great. I keep it in an old tupperware container to preserve it

    Yep, first edition.

    I only know that because someone wrote in the front "To Gertrude at Christmas 1916 with all love"

    Then under that "Given to G.G. Clunies. Ross. 1936"

    Then under that "Given to Savannah with love from Mum Easter 95"
