THE RIVER BANK
by Kenneth Grahame Illustrated by Adrienne Adams New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, (1977). First separate edition, first printing. Enhanced with evocative, soft-hued illustrations on almost every page by Caldecott Honor Award winning artist, Adrienne Adams. Fine in green linen with black titles and flower illustration embossed to the front cover and with black titles embossed to the spine; in a near fine dust jacket with light rub-wear to the upper and lower spine edges. The first chapter of THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS, where bashful Mole and worldly-wise Rat become friends and go rowing on the river. The chapter is complete in itself, the perfect length to read to a child, with detailed and absolutely charming color illustrations that visibly tell the story and have a tendency to make a young one entranced. Square Octavo. FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS! |
