The Rabbits *1st US Signed w/sketch by Shaun Tan* by Marsden, John; Tan, Shaun [Illustrator] - 2003-09-15

Vancouver: Simply Read Books, 2003-09-15. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Signed. First US/Canadian edition of this wonderful collaboration by John Marsden and Shaun Tan is a haunting tale of reckless imperialism and disregard for the environment. Signed with a waterbird sketch by Shaun Tan. Ever think of rabbits as a powerful and evil invading army? Shaun Tan has illustrated John Marsden's story with the scariest rabbits you will ever see -- but they're beautiful in a darkly fascinating way as well. For anyone who is interested in Australian history or colonialism anywhere. There is slight wear to the dustwrapper at the extremities and there are two indentations (one a very small closed tear) to the dustwrapper at the spine fold on the back panel. All of our first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted. Dustwrappers are protected with clear archival wraps and we pack each book like it's a Tiffany egg.
