About This Item
New York, NY.: Harper Collins, Publishers. Very Good. 1998. First Edition. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. This book is hard-bound in green paper covered boards, with gilt stamping to the spine, in a very nice dust jacket. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with nice color illustrations. This book is signed/inscribed by the author Natalie Babbitt, on the page opposite the title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. .
