Sobre este artículo
Philadelphia & New York: J.B. Lippincott, 1965. Near fine in very good plus jacket.. First edition, publisher's review copy with slip laid in, of this satirical poem set in the Age of Chilvary, featuring a dragon adorably illustrated by Gorey. While the text was first published in the SATURDAY REVIEW in 1964, this is the first book form and with the Gorey collaboration. The Gorey dragon dozing on a pillow (featured in the text and on the front board) is sufficient charm alone for this lovely little book. 5.25'' x 6.25''. Original yellow pictorial cloth, spine lettered in black, dragon image stamped in black and green to front board. In original unclipped ($2.95 price) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated on every page by Edward Gorey in black and white. [48] pages. Publisher's review slip laid in. Jacket with light soil along margins and joints. Book with light bumping and soil to spine ends, else clean and tight.
