BENTLY & EGG

Illustrated and written by
William Joyce

(New York): A Laura Geringer Book, (1992).

First edition, first printing.

Fine in beige linen over key-lime boards with gilt embossed illustration of a traveling egg to the front cover and gilt titles to the spine; in a fine dust jacket.

Joyce, the Academy Award-winning illustrator/author/animator/screenwriter did 15 well-acclaimed films, many depicting enchanting and humanized animals and bugs, such as are used in this delightful story.

Joyce's evocative illustrations in soft water-colored hues, heighten the charm in this endearing tale of shy, bespectacled, singing frog, whose life changes when he takes responsibility for the care of a duck egg.
 

An early picture book in Joyce's career that exemplifies his varied mix of  time-period styles in children's illustration.

 An eye-catching color illustration faces every page of text.

Square octavo picture book.

Unusual to find in this especially sharp condition!
