Sobre este artículo
THE VILLAGE TREE was Yashima's first children's book. After the war, he developed a stomach ulcer which kept him home for long periods; he began to tell his American-born daughter, Momo, about life when he was a child in a rural village in Japan, and these stories grew into several publications. THE VILLAGE TREE presents a hazy and nostalgic snapshot of the simplicity of childhood, when the priorities of the day included catching bugs and swimming. 10'' x 7.75''. Original brown publisher's cloth binding with orange stamped titles and design. Original color pictorial dust jacket, unclipped ($2.50). Color pictorial endpapers of a bird in flight. Illustrated in color throughout. 34 pages. Inscribed and stamped on half-title page by Taro Yashima to Lowell Blanchard, dated "Nov. 25, 1956." Mild edgewear to dust jacket, with two tiny closed tears to rear; shallow creases to joints. Mild sunning to edges of binding. A sharp, vibrant copy.
