8vo. Translated from the German. Originally published under the title "Maisfrieden." First edition stated, full number line. Quarter tan cloth, green paper boards. 183 p.p. B&W illustrated half-title, frontis., and endpiece. Light bumping to spine ends of boards and dust jacket. DJ is price clipped. A very attractive copy. In the last year of World War II, a girl is found amid the rubble of a German city. All she knows is her first name: Rebecca. The authorities ship her to an orphanage, but along the way, when her train is stopped by an air raid, she flees to a cornfield. This is a remarkable book, both in its treatment of wartime reality and of alternate fantasy worlds.
