Increasingly uncommon with dust jacket in this condition.. Gnoli, Domenico. Beautiful first edition of Domenico Gnoli's (1933-1970) modern fairy tale about a melancholy prince who discovers how to smile. Gnoli was a renowned Italian painter and stage designer best known for his surrealist pop art and canvas work featuring extremely scaled paintings of folds, patterns, and textures.

Equal parts fairy tale and work of art, Gnoli's 1961 book tells the tale of Orestes, young Prince of Terramafiusa, and how he…
