Macmillan, 1987. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardcover. New/As New. Dennis Nolan B&W illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1987 Macmillan hardcover (gray boards with embossed griffin) and dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, 3rd printing. The DJ is in a pink/red metallic material and does show a bit of edge wear - not bad, but there. Interior is clean and tight. Wonderful B&W illustrations by the Author. CONTENT: A young boy fills his bucket with wet sand to build a sandcastle. Soon the walls are raised and towers reach toward the sky. Carefully placing his little toy inside the castle gate, he becomes Sir Christopher, builder of castles who tames a roaring dragon and battles the ship of the Black Knights, driving it back to the sea.

HarperCollins, 2002. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Stephen Alcorn. CONDITION: NEW 2002 HarperCollins hardcover (pictorial boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, 3rd printing. Wonderful "relief-block prints" by Stephen Alcorn. Tiny edge wear top DJ edge. CONTENT: Readers won't find sentimental odes to new puppies or baskets of cozy kittens here. These 14 poems, inspired by artist Stephen Alcorn's masterful woodcuts, celebrate animals in all their bizarre shapes and fierce wildness. From the bouncy, rhymed couplets of Lillian Fisher's "Camel" ("His body is lumpy, / knees calloused and bumpy") to the single line of contemplative free verse in Tony Johnston's "Iguana," the poems, most by well-known poets, range widely in style and tone. Many assume an animal's first-person voice with powerful immediacy; others are more layered and atmospheric. But each selection centers around physical images of the animals' distinctive movement, body, and personality, often echoed in inventive… Read More

CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1999 Otava (Helsinki) large hardcover (no DJ issued), first English edition.

His handsomely illustrated account of the… Read More
