About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1990. 1/4 cloth. Fine/Fine. David Macaulay. SIGNED BY DAVID MACAULAY on the front free endpaper. An immaculate copy to boot of the 1990 true 1st edition (and 1991 Caldecott winner). Tight and Fine in its 1/4 cloth over light-gray boards. And in a crisp, price-intact, Fine dustjacket. Tall, thin quarto, wonderfully illustrated thruout by David Macaulay.
Synopsis
Four stories are told simultaneously, with each double-page spread divided into quadrants. The stories do not necessarily take place at the same moment in time, but are they really one story?
