First edition, first printing of Harte's charming, and pioneering, children's story, describing games of make-believe with a genuine interest; wherein, most notably, a nine year old girl pursues the life of a Pirate Queen. With 28 colour illustrations by Kate Greenaway throughout the text. Printed on cream paper, all edges a dull gilt. Some toning and light marking to covers. A couple of instances of spotting within, else a clean and tight copy. A nice example. Very good.
