About This Item
New York: Holiday House, 1936. Rounds' first book, "a true account of the seemingly incredible exploits and inventions of the great Paul Bunyan", not based on any extant folklore, but, as Rounds admitted some years later, mostly made up by him. Rounds, born in South Dakota in 1906, was an itinerant worker for some years, studying art under Thomas Hart Benton (Jackson Pollock was a fellow student) at the Art Students League of New York from 1930-31 and convincing Holiday House to publish this book shortly after their founding; he went on to write or illustrate over 100 books in an over-60-year career. Small hardcover in jacket, as pictured; SIGNED by Rounds on the first page. First edition (first printing) with same date on title & copyright pages, no later printings noted. Light wear to book, base of spine bumped; delicate jacket, seldom found unchipped, shows only light edgewear & some tanning, but is, alas, price-clipped. Text clean; [2], [134] pages, line drawings, illustrated 'map' endsheets.. Signed. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Illus. by Glen Rounds. Duodecimo.
