About This Item
Neuallschwil/Basel: Heuwinkel, 1961. First edition of this illustrated storybook, featuring two magical tales: "The Carousel Horse and the Blue Flower" and "The Fairy and the Wall." In the first, a carousel horse escapes the fairground to join the child who hoped to ride him; in the second, a runaway fairy transforms a village wall under cover of night. The vibrant linocuts are the work of Swiss artist Claude Schaub-Filliol, noted for her work in ceramics and sculpture as well as graphic design. Text in German. A very good copy. Single volume, measuring 8.25 x 8.5 inches: [28]. Original brown cloth spine, glossy color pictorial paper boards. Text and illustrations printed on board, featuring thirteen full-page color linocuts. Faint foxing to pastedowns, binding slightly bowed, staples rusted.
