About This Item
New York, New York, U.S.A.: Smithmark Publishers, 1999. First Thus . Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Gag, Wanda. Charming tale both written & illustrated by the Caldecott-nominated author, about Bobo, a little man of the mountains, who feeds all the animals around him, but faces new challenges when a strange creature called the Funny Thing arrives. Orig. published in 1928, this is the First Edition, First Printing from Smithmark Books from 1999, revitalizing the tale for a new generation of readers. Unpaginated, with Gag's trademark woodcut illustrations on every page. Oblong quarto (12.25" x 11.25") has brightly colored & decorated yellow paper over boards with a design matched by the accompanying DJ. The book is Fine: just lacks that Brand New crispness! Completely clean, white pages, tight binding. The unclipped DJ is Near Fine, marred only by a bit of wrinkling & a small, semi-circular stain to top edge of front cover; nicely protected in new mylar cover Free!
