Description:
New York: The Viking Press, 1938. First edition. Near fine in near fine dust jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this classic story, featuring the adventures of a Mexican boy who gets lost in the jungle - with original watercolor of the title character. Leo Politi wrote and illustrated books for children and adults, and made it a point to tell stories outside of the dominant cultural settings in the US publishing scene. His work "was revered for capturing a diversity of people," and for sparking conversations about "changing communities, who belongs, and how we balance development with the preservation of history" (CURBED LOS ANGELES). His charming illustrations, often incorporating dreamlike elements into more realistic spaces, earned him a Caldecott Medal and two Caldecott Honors, as well as the epithet "the Italian Sr. Seuss" (CURBED LOS ANGELES). This copy, with its vibrant original watercolor, demonstrates how Politi envisioned his title character in full color. 6'' x 5''. Original pictorial…

Description:
New York: The Viking Press, 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/good. First printing, sixmo size, [41] pp., inscribed by Leo Politi. Leo Politi, born Atiglio Leoni Politi (1908-1996) was a renowned author and illustrator of mainly children's books; he won the Caldecott Medal in 1950 for his "Song of the Swallows". Leo Politi's art often reflected a multiculturalism that was unusual for the time. "Little Pancho" was Politi's first book, the one which established him as an illustrator for children's books. This volume made incredibly special by Politi having hand-coloured four of the illustrations with original water-colours, the first of the four signed by him. In addition, Politi inscribed the book to "the little boy Paul", which may have been Politi's son by that name. ___DESCRIPTION: String-bound in illustrated paper over boards with "Little Pancho" on the front, white lettering and peach decorations on the spine, and with Pancho and his dog, Coco, on the back board, illustrated…
