"The most important addition to American arts and letters in Lord knows how many years." — Dorothy Parker. Reproduced in full color and featuring Mr. O'Malley, McSnoyd, Gorgon, Gus, and other delightful comic creations, here are 13 of the most popular Barnaby adventures. Includes the famous scrap iron drive and the hot coffee ring escapades. Barnaby was a comic strip which began 20 April 1942 in the newspaper PM and was later syndicated in 64 American newspapers (for a combined circulation of more than 5,500,000). Created by Crockett Johnson, who is best known today for his children's book Harold and the Purple Crayon, the strip featured a cherubic-looking five-year-old and his far-from-cherubic fairy godfather, Jackeen J. O'Malley, a short, cigar-smoking man with four tiny wings. With a distinctive appearance because of its use of typography, the strip had numerous reprints and was adapted into a 1940s stage production. The usually caustic Dorothy Parker had nothing but praise: "I think, and I'm trying to talk calmly, that Barnaby and his friends and oppressors are the most important additions to American Arts and Letters in Lord knows how many years." E-01; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 361 pages; Signed by Author .

New York: Ballantine Books, 1986. First edition. Mass Market Paperback. Fine. One of the scarcer paperbacks from a major publisher in the 1980s. Barnaby was a wonderful cartoon of the 1940s, Ballantine reprinted the strips in the 1980s, in six volumes -- they did not sell well, despite the efforts of some booksellers to get them into the hands of those who would appreciate them. The problem with the current price on these volumes is that new folks won't get the chance to read them and discover the joys of this kindly strip. Go out and buy the two hardbacks from the 40s; then come back and round out your collection with the Ballantines, the later ones of which reprint otherwise unavailable tales. This is an excellent copy, with slight browning of the paper and only the very slightest of reading creases, invisible except in a strong side-light. tw

Chicago, IL: Henry Holt and Co.. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1943. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Near Fine condition and has a Very Good+ dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean, bright condition. There is a light slant to the spine of the book. The text pages are clean and bright. All edges of the text block have noticeable foxing. The dust jacket is clean and bright but does have a couple of small spots of discoloration and some light toning to the rear panel along with one small semi-closed tear to the bottom front spine joint. "For those who have not yet formed the habit, we herewith report that BARNABY is a picture strip about a little boy named Barnaby who wanted a fairy godmother, and wished upon a star. What he got was a fairy godfather, with pink wings and a paunch, named Mr. O'Malley. Now Mr. O'Malley is, we hope, untypical of fairy godfathers. He smokes cigars - usually filched from Barnaby's Pop." "Crockett Johnson (October 20, 1906 – July 11, 1975) was the pen name of the American cartoonist and children's book illustrator David Johnson Leisk. He is best known for the comic strip Barnaby (1942–1952) and the Harold series of books begun with Harold and the Purple Crayon. From 1965 until his death Johnson created over a hundred paintings relating to mathematics and mathematical physics. Eighty of these are found in the collections of the National Museum of American History." .
