About This Item
Scholastic, New York, 1st edition, later printing, SIGNED by Ruby Bridges on a publisher's bookplate attached to the half title page. Large format hardcover with dust jacket, 63 numbered pages, 28 x 24 cm, pictorial boards with sepia close-up of Ruby as a child on front cover and photographs from November 14th, 1960 on the rear. The jacket features the same images except with an embossed "Jane Addams Children's Book Award" sticker. NEW, unread book. Condition is Fine in Fine. Surrounded by federal marshals, 6-year-old Ruby Bridges became the first black student ever at the all-white William Frantz Public School in New Orleans, Louisiana, on November 14, 1960. Sepia-toned period photographs join the sidebars in rounding out Bridges' account. But Bridges' words, recalling a child's innocence and trust, are more vivid than even the best of the photos. Like poetry or prayer, they melt the heart.

About The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop
The Peculiar Old Cat and Fiddle Bookshop has a passion for fine and rare books covering all things art, all things music, 19th Century literature and culture, fine illustrations and modern firsts. The Cat digs artistic and counter-cultural movements, and also of course the unusual and the curious (hence the "Peculiar" in the name). The Cat's yen for the 19th century (including art, fashion, affairs, exploration) is possibly influenced by living in a 19th century brownstone, a future gallery for the store.Selling online since 2003 with great customer feedback - if the customer is happy, we are happy.
