About This Item
London: Walker Books. Very Good. 1996. First Edition. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in color, pictorial printed, paper covered boards, in a very nice dust jacket with sunning to the spine. The binding is solid. The contnets are bright and clean, with color illustrations. This book is signed/inscribed by both the editor Iona Opie, and the Illustrator Rosemary Wells on the title-page. Laid-in at the front is a sheet of paper which is signed at the top by Rosemary Wells. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
