About This Item
New York, NY.: Hyperion/Hyperion Books for Children. Very Good. 2005. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in white paper covered boards, with printing to the covers, in a very nice dust jacket. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with color illustrations throughout. This book is signed by both the author, Caroline Kennedy and the illustrator, Jon J. Muth both on the half title-page. Laid-in at the front is a photograph of Jon J. Muth, which is signed/inscribed by Jon J. Muth. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. ; Signed by Author & Illustrator .
