New York, NY: E.P. Dutton, 1954. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. James Bosell (Illustrator). Text/Near New. Red linen boards with black lettering/NF w/light surface wear. DJ/None. Of Russian Jewish descent, English writer, playwright & screenwriter Cyril Wolf Mankowitz (1924 - 1998) was born & raised on Fashion Street, East End of London, heart of London's Jewish community. This magical and humorous novel is sited in that rich, vibrant, lower-class world abustle with small shops, open-air vendors & flea-marketers. The title, A KID (a young goat) FOR TWO FARTHINGS (coin worth a-quarter-of-a-penny; UK monetary unit withdrawn 1961), is derived from the traditional Passover song, Chad Gadya, which begins "One little goat which my father bought for two zuzim ...". This is the story about little Joe who, with his mother, lives above the Kandinsky tailor shop. Mr. Kandinsky tells him unicorns are bound to grant any wish to their captors. Though but six years old, sensitive to life's hardships, Joe knows what his wish would be. Joe finds a unicorn --- his, for just the 2 farthings he's saved. Miracles happen. Was the little goat sporting but one-emerging-horn really a unicorn in disguise? Novel was adapted to film, 1955 by Carol Reed, from Mankowitz's screenplay.
