About This Item
Woodstock, New York: The Overlook Press, 1975. First edition. Fine in near fine dust jacket.. Signed first printing of this sweet little book of secret fort construction inspiration. Nonny Hogrogian, an Armenian-American from a family of artists, started her bibliographic career as a book designer for publisher Thomas Y. Crowell. She worked as an art director for several other publishers, until she earned her first Caldecott Medal for ALWAYS ROOM FOR ONE MORE in 1965 - the success inspired her to become a full-time illustrator. It was a good choice: she earned another Caldecott Medal in 1972, and a Caldecott Honor in 1977. Many of her works incorporate aesthetics and stories from her Armenian heritage. 6'' x 6''. Original white cloth boards. Original unclipped ($4.95) pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [20] leaves. Signed by Hogrogian to half-title page. Jacket with a touch of rubbing, a couple tiny spots of soil. Sharp.
