About This Item
New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1940. First American Edition. Cloth. Near Fine. Funny, funny, funny! With delightful illustrations. 4to. 28 by 20.5 cm. 92, [1] pp. The translator, Rosemary Benet, was the wife of poet Stephen Vincent Benet, and was also an author in her own right. Jean Bruller, the illustrator, was also a novelist whose best known work is "Le Silence de la Mare". The lightest of wear to the book itself -- light wear of blue fabric in corners and spine tips, and gentle age toning of leaves. The dust jacket has minor close tears and shallow edge chipping, with some light soiling, flattened creasing, etc. Dust jacket now protected with mylar. About as nice a copy overall as one is likely to come by.
