First edition of this early children's title by Newbery winner Paula Fox, the story of an anxious (and anxiously watched) young boy: "Everyone wanted to help Lewis. That's why he was thinking of running away." Lewis's life improves markedly when his parents leave town, and a free-spirited sitter allows him to roam after school. Publishers today would likely shy away from a story that encourages children to explore caves with men they befriend in the park, but in Fox's telling, Lewis's adventures have a dreamlike, almost magical quality. Edward Ardizzone's drawings perfectly capture the boy's experience of oppression and liberation. A near-fine copy. Single volume, measuring 8.5 x 5.5 inches: [6], 57, [1].
