A modern day classic and one of the first examples of the work of one picture book author/artist being illustrated by another. The title would prove to be infuential in the history of children's books, thus solidifying its importance. See Bader pg. 66-67. . First Edition. Illustrated Boards. Very Good/Good Plus. Illus. by Kurt Wiese. 8vo.
Synopsis
"Kurt Wiese and Majorie Flack have created in Ping a duckling of great individuality against a background (the Yangtze River) that has both accuracy and charm." -- The New York Times
