About This Item
Original price on front and rear flaps. Dust jacket has edge wear, two large tears, the one on back flap repaired by clear, plastic tape, and 1.5 x 1" chip. Light, miniscule nudge to front upper corner. Previous owner's name to front paste-down endpaper. Text is clean, unmarked, tight. The author reflects with complete unself-consciousness a way of living thoroughly our own. In its scenes, its characters, its story, and its entire conception this book is as American as any small boy you'd meet on the street.
Synopsis
Robert McCloskey (1914-2003) wrote and illustrated some of the most honored and enduring children's books ever published. He grew up in Hamilton, Ohio, and spent time in Boston, New York, and ultimately Maine, where he and his wife raised their two daughters. The first ever two-time Caldecott Medal winner, for Make Way for Ducklings and Time of Wonder , McCloskey was also awarded Caldecott Honors for Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, and Journey Cake, Ho! by Ruth Sawyer. He was declared a Living Legend by the Library of Congress in 2000. You can see some of his best-loved characters immortalized as statues in Boston's Public Garden and Lentil Park in Hamilton, Ohio.
