A lovely example. The beloved Newbery Medal winning story of unbreakable friendship and loss, featuring two children and their imaginary magical forest kingdom of 'Terabithia'. The basis for the 2007 critically acclaimed, award winning film of the same name, directed by Gábor Csupó, starring Josh Hutcherson, AnnaSophia Robb, Bailee Madison, Zooey Deschanel and Robert Patrick. The screenplay was co-written by the author's son David L. Paterson, who inspired the original story. The Newbery Medal (of which this novel was the 1978 recipient) was the world's first children's book award, and it continues to be awarded annually. Notable past winners include 'A Wrinkle in Time' by Madeline L'Engle (1963) and 'The Voyages of Doctor Dolittle' by Hugh Lofting (1923). The first printing, issued in an edition of 7000 copies is quite scarce. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
