About this Item
1st edition. A Very Good copy in Very Good dust jacket. Tall narrow 4to., chiefly illustrated with b&w and color drawings. Cloth backed paper illustrated boards in similarly illustrated dust jacket. This is the TRUE FIRST EDITION with the words Harper & Brothers printed on the title page and NOT Harper & Row found on later editions. The dust jacket, priced at $2.50, is well preserved, with sharp edges and bright vibrant colors, but regrettably has had its rear flap cut away. The dj has a gold foil Caldecott award seal on the front panel. The paper boards have edge wear, with the tips rubbed through. Previous owner's name on the front paste down, and dated 1956. A Very Good copy in an attractive dust jacket (even if flawed). The dj is now protected in a newer mylar sleeve. Janice May Udry (born 1928) is an American author. She was born in Jacksonville, Illinois and graduated from Northwestern University in 1950. Her first book, A Tree is Nice, was awarded the Caldecott Medal in 1957 for Marc Simont's illustrations.
