FIRST EDITION, A DEDICATION COPY INSCRIBED BY GREENAWAY TO OLIVER LOCKER on the dedication page: "Oliver Locker from Kate Greenaway 1883." Oliver Locker was the youngest son of Frederick Locker (later Locker-Lampson) and one of the four dedicatees of this book. His portrait and those of his brother and sisters (the other dedicatees) are featured on the dedication page. Kate Greenaway, who was introduced to Frederick Locker Lampson in 1880 through the engraver Edmund Evans, was an intimate friend of his and his family's for many years and a constant visitor to their homes. This copy also contains the Frederick Locker bookplate designed for him by Kate Greenaway. This example is the rarer version printed in black and is one of a few that were hand-colored for him by Greenaway herself (see Keith Clark, "The Bookplate designs of Kate Greenaway" in The Private Library, Second Series, vol. 8:3.
