About This Item
New York: Simon and Schuster, 1939. Pictorial boards. Very Good +/Very Good. Ludwig Bemelmans. The 1939 1st edition, 2nd issue (without the matching 1939 date to the title page). Clean and VG+ to Near Fine (with the correct number [12 girls] in the "They went home and broke their bread" illustration) in its wonderful pictorial boards. And in a clean, price-clipped, VG- to VG dustjacket, with light chipping along the spine and the panel edges, and mild darkening to the top-edges and the rear panel's fore-edge. Still though, very presentable and uncommon even as such, in this 2nd issue of the 1939 true 1st edition.
Synopsis
To fearless Madeline, a trip to the hospital is a splendid adventure. One of the most loved books in children’s literature, this story was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1940 and a subsequent book in the Madeline series, Madeline's Rescue , earned a Caldecott Medal in 1954. Written and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans in 1939, Madeline has continued to charm readers throughout the years with its beautiful drawings of Paris and spirited heroine.
