CONDITION: NEW 1996 Harcourt Brace hardcover (maroon boards) & DJ (in mylar jacket), first edition, 2nd printing. B&W illustrations & cover art by Brad Weinman. CONTENT: Long before Harry Potter and J. K. Rowling, there were Gandalf, Bilbo Baggins, and J. R. R. Tolkien. For young readers lucky enough to be familiar with the print versions of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, this will bring the creator to vivid life. Where did Tolkien's love for the environment come from? And why those three initials? For those not familiar with the works, this might pique their interest; they will at least be surprised to learn that the anticipation for the third volume of The Lord of the Rings rivaled that of the Harry Potter books. The small trim size and general brevity of the book will broaden the audience appeal, though there are no photos save a single black-and-white shot of an elderly Tolkien sitting among… Read More

William Collins (Collins), 1983. First Thus Printing Unknown. Hardcover. As New/No Jacket Issued. Ernest Nister. UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1983 William Collins (or Collins) hardcover (pictorial boards - no DJ issued), first thus, no printing given. Originally published as Merry Surprises by Nister in 1897. All of the interactive graphics are large wheels to be turned. I assume the text (perfect for early readers) is by Nister as well. Problem: short and very very pale binding wrinkle top front cover panel near fore edge. You have to look for it, but it is there.

Macmillan, 1987. 1st Edition 3rd Printing. Hardcover. New/As New. Dennis Nolan B&W illustrations. CONDITION: UNREAD, but not quite perfect, 1987 Macmillan hardcover (gray boards with embossed griffin) and dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition, 3rd printing. The DJ is in a pink/red metallic material and does show a bit of edge wear - not bad, but there. Interior is clean and tight. Wonderful B&W illustrations by the Author.

Carefully placing his little toy inside the castle gate, he becomes Sir Christopher, builder of castles who tames a roaring dragon and battles the ship of the Black Knights, driving it back to the sea. But one thing goes awry with the boy's special creation: he cannot order the waves to stop pounding on the castle walls. What's left is nothing but a day's dreaming on the sandy beach, and the boy vows to try again tomorrow. Nolan's poetic… Read More
