About This Item
Garden City: Doubleday, 1946. Later printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/very good. Hardcover in pale blue cloth stamped in black. Near fine, tight copy, touch of fade to the top and bottom edges of the cloth. In the original dust jacket, very good, slight fade to the front panel and spine and a touch of fingering. An authority on music, Mr. La Prade came up with this most ingenious way of setting forth a great deal of information on the subjects of both music and orchestras. Alice, a little girl closely related to that other famous Alice, finds herself in the kingdom of Orchestralia, where she is heartily received by different instruments like kindly old Bass Viol.
