(Paris: Bibliotheque Novelle De La Jeuesses, A Hennuyer, Imprimeur-Editeur, [ca. 1884, 1886]).

RARE. Very lovely copies of the first French editions of both Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. These editions were beautifully illustrated and bound quiet differently from their American counterparts, only two copies of Tom Sawyer have are noted to have appeared at auction for over 30 years and there are no records at all for Huck Finn. Item #28115

Together two volumes. The first editions in French. Both novels feature black and white illustrations by Achille Sirouy. Square 8vos, each in the original cream cloth, beautifully decorated in colours from scenes out of the stories and lettered in red and black on the upper and lower cover and spine, a.e.g. 238; 276 pp. A fine, bright pair of these rare books, the cream cloth just slightly dusty.
