Description:
San Francisco: The Joyful World Press, 1971. Pictorial wrappers. Near Fine. Shirley Boccaccio. A very sharp copy of the 1971 1st edition of this "Feminist children's book". Clean and Near Fine in its wonderful pictorial wrappers, with just a touch of very light scuffing at the rear panel. Thin quarto, includes photomontages by the author in brown and half-tone on every page. Shirley Boccaccio, an ardent feminist who wanted to offer girls a different model other than the male-dominated one, gives us here a tale of a heroine named Penelope, a raccoon and a dragon, all of whom have a yen for mussels. Penelope skillfully flies them to the water in her plane, swims out to save the raccoon and then cooks a feast. Published by The Joyful World Press of San Francisco.
