Bruce Kennett, 2023. 1st edition. Hardcover. NEW/no dj as issued. W. A. Dwiggins. Fresh from the KICKSTARTER campaign: Bruce Kennett, 2023. NEW. 256 pages. 5-3/4" x 7-1/2"/15 x 19 cm, the same page size envisioned by WAD in 1928. This edition features 130 drawings and paintings by Dwiggins, many never seen before. The book will be printed in full-color throughout by Penmor Lithographers. Although Dwiggins is best known for his work in graphics and puppetry, he also wrote essays, satire, and fiction. Many people are unfamiliar with this aspect of his work. He was recognized for this talent early on: one of his pieces was chosen for Houghton Mifflin's annual compilation, Best Short Stories of 1915. From 1910 to 1926, Dwiggins created a series of stories about an imaginary place he named Athalinthia, and the people who lived there. A place perhaps akin to Persia a thousand years ago, or Uzbekistan in the 1920s . . . he never said. He drew and painted more than 100 pictures expressly for these. This… Read More
