About This Item
1961. Hardcover. Good. Book of fairytales IN POLISH, presumably written by W.A. Zukowski, translated by Anatol Stern with illustrations by Michat Bylina. Beautifully illustrated with colorful woodcuts. Two of the translated titles from Polish to English are "Sleeping Beauty" and "Ivan and the Wolf." No dust jacket, as published. Boards are colorfully illustrated, although yellowed, with scuffing and rubbing. Finger and thumb marks along the edges of the boards. Bumped corners, scraped and chipped along bottom edge. Bumped at head and heel of spine. Text block has yellowed, as have pages. Mellowed to a manila color. Contains illustrated bookmark in German, original to the 1961 publishing. 95pps. Google translation left much to be desired.
