About This Item
Natick, Massachusetts: Neugebauer Press USA/Alphabet Press, 1983. First English Language Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Iwasaki, Chihiro. Andersen's classic fairy tale, translated here by Anthea Bell, is brought to life for new generations with the stunningly delicate, yet powerful, watercolor illustrations of Japanese artist Chihiro Iwasaki. Orig. published in Japanese in 1968 as "Akai Kutsu,'' this is the First English-Language Edition, first printing, from 1983. Unpaginated. Oversized hardcover 4to (8.75" x 11.50") has glossy white paper-covered boards decorated colorfully with an image of a dancing girl that is reproduced on the accompanying DJ. Condition is Fine: just slightly less crisp than Brand New! There is a plain piece of blue paper glued to the ffep; don't know if it came with the book or not, nor its purpose, but you could write a lovely gift inscription there to your favorite little dancer! .Completely clean, binding straight & strong, pages white & unmarked, colors vivid. The unclipped DJ is Near Fine, with just a hint of rippling to top edge. Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same day shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, Weekends, & holidays ship very next business day.
