    the Netherlands: N. P, C1950. First edition. Title page and four linen covered pages (including the rear cover). The inside flap has five skeins of coloured wool wrapped around it. The introductory verse (in Dutch) tells how easy it is to cut a page out and to use the wool to make a picture. It is clear from inside the book that one image has been cut out, and it would seem, was embroidered mainly in blue thread! The covers are browned and marked, and there is some foxing to it. Inside, mainly clean, but with a touch of marking here also. Altogether, and attractive, if incomplete piece of children's book history. 23cm x 18cm.

    , Page de titre et quatre pages recouvertes de lin (y compris la couverture arrière). Le rabat intérieur est entouré de cinq écheveaux de laine colorée. Le poème d'introduction (en néerlandais) explique à quel point il est facile de découper une page et d'utiliser la laine pour créer une image. À l'intérieur du livre, on voit clairement qu'une image a été découpée et, semble-t-il, brodée principalement avec du fil bleu ! Les couvertures sont brunies et marquées, et présentent quelques rousseurs. L'intérieur est principalement propre, mais présente également quelques marques. Dans l'ensemble, il s'agit d'un ouvrage attrayant, bien qu'incomplet, de l'histoire du livre pour enfants.
