About This Item
Chicago:: Follett Publishing Company,, (1969). Hardcover first edition -. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (short tear at top of spine affecting both the book and the dj). First printing. The author's first book for children, illustrated with a map and wraparound dust jacket art by Robert Baumgartner. From the dust jacket: "Fear. From one end of the woodland called The Lot to the other, there ran a current, subtler but more pervasive than electricity. From the smallest birds huddled on their night perches down to the muskrat kit in its house deep in the bog, the same thrill sent a warning. The Lot was afraid." The author is perhaps best known for championing the printing of Herbert's Dune when he was an editor at Chilton Books. 256 pp.
