New York: Oxford University Press, 1953 A very special book by Swiss author Selina Chonz and illustrated by the notable Swiss artist and illustrator, Alois Carigiet. Both are Swiss icons and recipients of the Hans Christian Andersen prize. They shared the Romansch language and apparently the strong cultural flavour of these peoples of the high alps is evoked and celebrated in this and the two other works that they produced. The attached photos show the very good condition of this book. Boards are slightly sunned.The dust jacket is clipped and there is a small former owner name. Boards are square, binding is clean and tight, even the corners are unblemished. There is a slight loss to top and tail of the jacket and some minor soiling of the jacket rear.
