Book desription: NY: Random House, 1961. An unusual and beloved fairy tale for German-speaking children, this book features all sorts of magical people and animals who live in an enchanted kingdom. This story was unknown to English-speaking people until this edition was produced with it's spritely translation by Orgel and especially blessed with excellent b&w drawings by MULTI-AWARD-WINNING SENDAK. Covers show slight wear from handling; dust jacket has several chips and edgewear. A VERY SCARCE SENDAK TITLE! Sendak-expert Joyce Hanrahan gives it a high value and all the "points" correspond to Hanrahan's definition of a "first." OUT OF PRINT.. First Edition. Cloth-backed Boards. Very Good/Good Dj. Illus. by Maurice Sendak. Small 4to.
