New York, NY.: Farrar, Straus and Giroux. Very Good. 1976. Hardback in dust jacket. This book is hard-bound in brown cloth, with gilt stamping to the spine, in a dust jacket with light scuffing and edge-wear. The covers show some light sunning to the edges. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean, with color illustrations. This book is signed/inscribed by Maurice Sendak on the half 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. .
