Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. unpaginated with illustrations by Gillian McClure. Square quarto (1010 1/4" x 8 3/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to spine in original pictorial jacket. First American edition. In eerily beautiful paintings, the story of a suspected witch's business unfolds, as a Cockney boy hides in a ditch to spy on his neighbor. The old woman nabs him and forces him to help with a peculiar assortment of chores. After gathering sticks in a creepy wood, the two scour fetid swamps in search of turnips. `` 'Ere, you scoop this out for yer Hallowe'en lamp,'' advises the craggy lady. Later when she calls her pet hog by the name of the legendary terror, Baba Yag, the frightened lad races home. This fanciful rhyming exultation, told from the boy's point of view, is laced liberally with dialect and English slang like `` 'oppin orf,'' not to mention the more familiar ``bloomin' '' and ``Cor.'' The total effect is wondrously rich, jagged syntax notwithstanding. The odd story is complemented by McClure's equally unusual and compelling pictures filled with myriad images that spring from the boy's tormented imaginings. Teams of hens pulling hags on broomsticks, haunting dead sunflowers with drooping heads, and punk witches sporting Mohawk haircuts are among some of the bizarre visual prizes contained in this striking book.

Condition: Used: Good. First American Edition. Hardcover ex-library copy in dust jacket. Very clean. No external labels. Gillian McClure (illustrator).

Condition: FINE. First US printing. An interesting collaboration between a poet and his daughter. "The poem is a first-person account of a boy who watches an old 'witch' and then is 'bundled' in to help her with her chores, written in a heavy London dialect. The illustrations also provide a challenge, for they are filled with subtle clues and false leads that must be read carefully to understand the story. In the first half of the book, the picture on the recto shows the actual events, but hidden within each of these is a mirror image that reflects another possibility. Flying above the text on the verso are various witches, including one with punk hair and a safety pin in her ear. In the second half of the book, the text and a small picture showing actual events face full left-page pictures showing the witches gathering and partying with Baba Yag. McClure uses frames filled with eerie plant and animal forms to surround her pictures; intriguing frames-within-frames on the dust jacket forshadow the final revealing picture. A thought-provoking picture book not designed for read-alouds, but instead for children and young adults who will tackle careful and repeated consideration of words and pictures. it plays on children's fear of the elderly, a point teachers and librarians may want to raise for discussion."(School Library Journal) Square format, unpaginated. Fine in red boards in a very good dust jacket (price-clipped, horizontal slit to middle of back cover of dj).…
