Morrow Jr. Books, 1995. 1st Edition 2nd Printing. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Michael Hague (the great). CONDITION: NO PRIORITY PLEASE. UNREAD, but not perfect, 1995 Morrow Junior Books hardcover (blue boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), 1st edition, 2nd printing. Adorable and sweet color illustrations by Michael Hague. PROBLEMS: Spot on front board (like a drop of coke) and short "repaired" tear top DJ edge. CONTENT: CONTENT: Part poetry collection, part songbook, this bedtime volume will strike Hague fans as beautiful, others as precious. Hague's images, as always, are both ethereal and fantastical, recognizable by the palette alone (lots of ochre, brick red and moss green), and he creates worlds inhabited as comfortably by fairies and gnomes as by children and their parents. The volume has a self-consciously old-fashioned flavor, harkening back to Brahms and Tennyson and Robert Louis Stevenson, and evoking classic picture-book illustrations, a honeyed melange of Arthur… Read More

USA: HarperCollins, 2000. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/New. Michael Hague. CONDITION: NEW 2000 HarperCollins hardcover & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, first printing. Light blue boards. Beautiful, as always, colorful illustrations by Hague. The text on the DJ is in red foil. Lovely and detailed decorated end pages. CONTENT: Fairies come alive in stories, songs, and poetry. Only Thumbelina will be familiar to most readers; there is an excerpt from Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens , but this title is different from the more familiar tale. The pieces, some of which feature fairies who are more crotchety than fey, have an old-fashioned air, and Hague's lush, highly detailed artwork enhances the feeling. The most beautiful spreads are the ones in color, but even the line drawings are so intricate they deserve more than one look. Notes about the eight pieces will be very interesting for children wanting a bit of knowledge with their whimsy. Contents: Lock-out Time (Barrie); Thumbelina… Read More

Clarendon Press, 1993. 1st Edition 7th printing. Soft cover. Very Good+/No Jacket Issued. No Illustrations. CONDITION: Very Good+ 1993 Clarendon Press trade paperback, first edition, 7th printing. PROBLEM: some underlining from page 1 through page 57 and then appears abandoned. No spine crease - outwardly appears perfect. CONTENT: This book takes a refreshing new approach to the study of the Reformation in England. Christopher Haigh's lively and readable study disproves any facile assumption that the triumph of Protestantism was inevitable, and goes beyond the surface of official political policy to explore the religious views and practices of ordinary English people. With the benefit of hindsight, other historians have traced the course of the Reformation as a series of events inescapably culminating in the creation of the English Protestant establishment. Haigh sets out to recreate the sixteenth century as a time of excitement and insecurity, with each new policy or ruler causing the reversal of… Read More
