About This Item
Philomel Books, Putnam Pub Group; New York, 1981 A reproduction of an antique book, first published in 1883. Four plays for children; the seasons of the year are introduced in four brief plays: Spring is Here, Summer at the Seashore, The Apple Picking Party, Winter Festival. Glossy color-illustrated boards, 11 3/8 x 8 3/4 inches, unpaginated, intricate colored pop-ups, some with movable parts, as shown in the photos. Near fine. "Unknown, however, is the name of the remarkably clever paper engineer who devised a way of bringing the drawings to life as three-dimensional miniature stage settings, with the added fascination of parts that actually move. A marvel in its own time, this book invites children of today to participate actively in the world of Victorian childhood, and provides a visual delight for young and old alike." (K079). 1st Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/No Jacket.
