About this Item
Volume 7 of this 42 volume series of excellent children's books published from 1957 to the late 1960s. Although published by Doubleday's book club, these are not your typical book club issues. These books are all original, and contain original stories as well as traditional tales and re-tellings of classics. There's also some non-fiction - a look at a foreign country and often a biography of a famous person. Most notable of all was the use of new illustrations by some artists who have since become highly collectable. This volume is a case in point, containing new illustrations by Andy Warhol. There are also Richard Scarry's illustrations to "Little Red Riding Hood", a Grimm tale, a "Raggedy Andy" story, a look at Japan, and Hiawatha pictured by Edward Shenton. Lots of other good stuff too. This copy is good only, largely due to being slightly misshapen. Boards are a little bowed and the spine has become a concave channel. There is some faint brown staining to the pastedowns which, if you press your nose to it, smell just a tad musty. Internally the textblock is clean and well bound, but the pages are a little wavy. Dust jacket is very good, slightly worn and nicked at extremities, with the concave channel down the spine and an internally repaired creased tear to bottom of front panel. JS.
