About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1988. First printing. Very good plus.. Publisher's proof copy of the first edition of this charming fishing story, published the same year as Say's Caldecott Honor, THE BOY OF THE THREE-YEAR NAP. Allen Say, born in Yokohama, Japan in 1937, dreamed of becoming an artist from a young age. Before entering the world of children's book illustration, Say worked as a sign-painter and as a photographer, his skills behind the lens landing him a spot in the military newspaper STARS AND STRIPES. He illustrated his first children's book in 1972, and has earned a Caldecott Medal and a Caldecott Honor, among other accolades; Say's work is often based on personal experiences or the stories of family members, and his illustrations are noted for merging "the real and the surreal in his books, using photographs, pen-and-ink sketches, and watercolor paintings to illustrate them" (Oregon Encyclopedia). 9'' x 10.25''. Original unclipped (no price) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. 32 pages in two loose gatherings. Jacket with light edgewear, a hint of toning. Interior bright.
Synopsis
A little boy takes a fantasy trip up the river by his house to fly-fish with his uncle.
