About This Item
An early book by the prolific and irrepressible Pinkwater, considered by some to be his best. Copies of the first printing in anything like decent condition are extremely scarce; this copy is close to fine, and humorously inscribed on the halftitle by the author.
Synopsis
Daniel Pinkwater has written about one hundred books, many of them good. Lizard Music was almost the first one he wrote, and remains his personal favorite. It is entirely his own work, and the story that it was discovered as a manuscript inserted in a bale of banana leaves, probably to increase the weight, is merely legend, and without foundation in fact.
