New York: Franklin Watts Inc, 1963. First American edition. Oblong quarto, original cloth. Signed by Brian Wildsmith on the title page. Some rubbing to the bottom cloth and a bookplate to the inner front panel, near fine in a very good dust jacket with a few small closed tears. Uncommon signed. Brian Wildsmith's ABC does more than introduce children to the alphabet. It welcomes them to a celebration of each letter of the alphabet illustrated with wonderful, free-spirited art. Wildsmith, one of the world's leading illustrators, was awarded the Kate Greenaway medal for this ABC book.
