DJ enclosed in protective wrap taped to boards. Last page of text has corner torn off, otherwise very aattractive. Charming black and white line d…rawings by Michael Sporn. Four original fairy tales: "In the title story, a sweet tale, goodness reaps its own rewards, but evil doesn't do so badly either. Dry and wry, 'The Griffin and the Wise Old Philosopher' proposes that the best solution to the most perplexing questions often lies in total ignorance. 'The Shape-Shifters of Shorm,' darkly ironic, suggests that while it is noble to play by the rules, it's not very smart. And, finally, there is 'The Seagulls,' a lyrical tale in which the enchanted path to foreverafter turns out to be a cul-de-sac."; Ex-Library; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Illustrated by Sporn, Michael (illustrator).

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Tall 8vo, gray cloth with light gold lettering over tan boards, illustrated with frontispiece & other full-page B&W drawings by Michael Sporn, Mylar-protected pictorial and greenish dust jacket (unclipped) by Sporn, [vi] + 59 pages + [60] About the Author. Joh…n Gardner (1933 - 1982) was an American novelist, essayist, literary critic and university professor. He is best known for his 1971 novel Grendel, a retelling of the Beowulf myth from the monster's point of view. A tour de force! Gardner's best-known novels include The Sunlight Dialogues, about a disaffected policeman asked to engage a madman fluent in classical mythology; Grendel, a retelling of the Beowulf legend from the monster's point of view, with an existential subtext; and October Light, about an embittered brother and sister living and feuding with each other in rural Vermont (the novel includes an invented "trashy novel" the woman reads). This last book won the National Book Critics Circle Award in 1976. Gardner also wrote superior children's novels such as our volume, which contains four of his tales. Gardner was killed in a motorcycle accident on September 14, 1982.--Wikipedia abridged. EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION internally & externally.
