A dust cover for the book Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes. The part that would have covered the front of the book has printed, in black across the top, 'Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes' and across the bottom 'by Beatrix Potter, F. Warne And Co. Ltd'. These are separated by a coloured picture of a rabbit pushing a wheelbarrow. On the spine is 'Cecily Parsley's Nursery Rhymes'. On the part that would have covered the back is a list of the books in the same series and other associated books. The parts that would have folded inside the covers have lists of the languages and the books that were translated into French, Italian, Spanish and the i.t.a.
