Carroll C. Snell (illustrator). A beautiful first edition of Alice in Orchestralia, Ernest La Prade's whimsical musical fantasy inspired by the world of orchestral music and fairy-tale imagination. Written during the golden age of American radio orchestras, this richly illustrated children's book was designed to introduce young readers to classical instruments and orchestral storytelling. The story follows Alice into the enchanted land of Orchestralia, where musical instruments become characters and classical themes unfold in narrative form. The book is enhanced by the striking Art-Deco style illustrations of Carroll C. Snell, including a vivid full-page color plate depicting Titania, Queen of the Fairies. Of special interest is the foreword by Walter Damrosch, the legendary conductor of the New York Symphony Orchestra and host of the NBC Music Appreciation Hour, whose involvement gives this book major historical and musical significance. This copy retains its original 1936 illustrated dust jacket, a major rarity for this title. Condition Book: Very Good+ Blue cloth boards are clean and bright with sharp stamping of the violin motif. Spine lightly toned. Pages are clean, bright, and firmly bound with no loose signatures. The color plate is vivid and fully intact.
