Description

New York:: Dial Press,, (1995). Hardcover first edition -. Fine in glossy illustrated boards in a near fine dust jacket (short tear at top of spine). First printing. A collaboration which "beautifully evokes a neglected facet of pre-World War II African American life. All day long, Delia hears the music of Charleston, South Carolina.Most musical of all are the shouts - the short, rhythmic songs of street vendors and work crews. From the cheery morning cries of the 'Vegetubble Maumas' ('Red rose to-may-toes! / Green peas! Green peas!' ) to the lonely evening call of the Charcoal Man ('Char-coal! Dime a bucket! / I walk in de moon light, / I walk in de starlight, / I lay dis body down. . . .' ), the shouts frame the Charleston day. Luminous oil paintings by Bernie Fuchs in ruddy golds and browns portray not only the criers, but also the heat and haze of the Charleston streets." (booklist) Author's note. Large format, unpaginated.
Used - Fine in glossy illustrated boards in a near fine dust jacket (short tear at top of spine)
