Winner of a rare special mention in the White Ravens Catalogue 2000 of the world's best children's books, this whimsical picture book is an innovation of nonsense verse and design. Letter-pressed with two colours, the book uses typography in a radical and exciting way - as illustration. Letters and words take the form of images, so that the child deciphers words like puzzles, making it a visual and verbal treat for children as well as for children's book collectors.

Seller: Sell Books, Elland, YORKS, United Kingdom
hardcover. Condition: Good. Ramanathan, Rathna (illustrator). Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
