Dutton Children's Books, 2001. 1st American Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. New/Very Good. Wayne Anderson. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not perfect, 2001 Dutton Children's Books large hardcover (pictorial boards) and dust jacket - now here's the story! First American Edition, first printing. The Wayne Anderson gray & white/color illustrations are haunting. Now, the dust jacket - in all the years I have sold this book, I had never seen a DJ on one - until now. I understand why now, too. The large cut-out on the front DJ panel is an invitation to tears and this one is no exception. The left side of the cutout is literally taped together. I will include a mylar cover in case you are better at cutouts than am I. Due to the size of the book, there is also some light edge wear to the DJ top edge. Questions welcome and answered. CONTENT: A tale with a pointed ecological message. Ward begins pessimistically with the words, "There was once a wide, windswept place, near nowhere and close to forgotten,… Leer más

Farrar, Straus, & Giroux, 1989. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/As New. Nancy E Burkert. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1989 Farrar, Strauss hardcover (olive green boards with embossed decoration) and dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, first printing. Beautiful full-page color illustrations with additional color illus. throughout. PROBLEM: DJ is price-clipped and there is a gift inscription on the loose end page (looking for a large bookplate to cover it). Still a beautiful copy. CONTENT: Meticulously researched and stunningly illustrated, this medieval prose romance has been translated and recast by Burkert ( Cinderella ) into Chaucerian iambic pentameter. The mysterious Pacolet narrates as a 16th-century troupe of itinerant players performs the story of two brothers separated at birth, one raised at court and the other by a bear in the forest.

CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1997 Random House hardcover (pictorial boards) & dust jacket, first edition, second printing.

Blinded by her quest for perfection, the queen does not realize the havoc she has wrought on the harmony of her kingdom, and… Leer más
