About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Philomel Books, 1992 Wonderfully odd book about La Bella Magellona who sometimes looked twenty and sometimes looked forty who had "a small tiny head on a massive torso; long, long legts; and from her Victorian-style skirt four shoes emerged--two large and two small." First edition, first printing in near fine condition save a little rubbing on rear cover, missing dust jacket and some price tag residue. No writing or marks. Bright fuschia endpapers. Oscar De Mejo, dubbed 'the naive surrealist' was a painter and jazz musician, born in an area of Italy that is now Croatia.
