New York: Hawthorn Books, Inc, 1970. First Edition. Fante's only children's book, a story set in Mexico about a boy and his burro, who set out on an impossible task to recover his father's prized bull. The scarcest of Fante's books published by a tiny publishing house. A bright, stunning example of a title typically seen well-worn or ex-library. Octavo; orange cloth, with titling and decorations stamped in black on spine and front panel; dustjacket; 127pp; illus. Fine in a Near Fine, price-clipped dustjacket, with some pinpoint rubbing to extremities and a single tiny tear at upper edge of front panel.

Description:
Hawthorn Books, 1970. Hardcover. very . Marilyn Hirsh. Nice neat copy, clean and unmarked but for librarian's good works. Pocket intact at back, too many stamps to endpapers and edges, none on title. A typed synopsis is affixed to FFEP, and the paper sheathing of the ibrary's protective covers was affixed inside boards, leaving residue behind when removed. That said, the jacket, removed carefully from old protection, is immaculate: unclipped, unmarled, unstickered. Image available, please inquire.
