What a true first shows: The true first edition of Twice-Told Tales was published in Boston by American Stationers Co. / John B. Russell in 1837 (expanded two-volume edition 1842). This 1966 Heritage Press illustrated edition is a modern reprint, not the first.

Photographs show the exact copy you will receive. Every flaw we found is listed above; if we missed one, the return is on us.
