About This Item

New York: Harlin Quist, 1978. Fine in fine dust jacket.. Redesigned edition of this tale of a little girl's interpretation of her exhausted father's efforts to keep her entertained, written by celebrated European avant-garde playwright Eugene Ionesco. Publisher Harlin Quist had an eye for the unusual, and an affinity for the avant-garde. Before his series of picture books began in 1967, "few books published for children had collectively raised such consistent debate and discussion, applause and criticism" (Paley, 111). He worked with a variety of artists to create a spectrum of attractive illustrated titles, from the delightfully spooky penwork of Gorey to vibrant and rather psychedelic watercolors of Etienne Delessert and everything in between. 9'' x 6''. Original blue cloth boards. Original unclipped ($5.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color. [24] pages. Clean and bright.
