To Tom Maschler, expressing doubts as to his suitability as illustrator for a new edition of Hallaire Belloc's `Cautionary Verses' planned by publishers Jonathan Cape. "I don't have any sense of what `Cautionary Verses' is like. Before I say no, could you send it to me and let me consider it." The author of `Where the Wild Things Are' eventually declined and Quentin Blake took the job and the edition appeared in 1993. Signed in full and in excellent condition. Seller Inventory # 20981
