Item description from seller

64, b/w illus. . HB. Vg in d/w. Some light occasional foxing. Drawings by Richard Cuffari. A sensitive and unsentimental children's novel exploring the experience of bereavement through the eyes of a young boy whose sister is dying. Virginia Lee's thoughtful treatment of grief and family life became an early and influential contribution to children's literature on death. The magic moth of the title is a symbolic image. During the story, the transformation of a caterpillar into a moth provides a gentle metaphor for change and the continuation of life, helping the family explain death. [9780582164727].
