About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster, 1946. First Edition, "G" Printing. Hardcover. Very good +. 8vo., golden craft cloth binding, illustrations by Gustaf Tenggren. Signed by the illustrator "to Dorothy Bennett with my best wishes", followed by Tengrenn's signature. -- A letter to her sister by the owner of the book (Mrs. Dora Briggs) about how she purchased the book at a Library Book Sale in Albany, Oregon. She describes who Dorothy Bennet was and how she was a friend of hers; The letter - "One special note to whoever winds up with the "Shy Little Kitten". This copy is rather special because Tenggren, the illustrator, autographed it for my good friend Dorothy Bennett. (She's an anthropologist with a particular specialty of the culture of American Indians of the Southwest) .......... People who collect illustrated children's books sometimes specialize in Gustaf Tenggren's work so a book that is personally inscribed by him is considered a very good collector's item). Letter is laid in, dated July, 1980. -- Unusual cloth edition. -- Light wear to the tips of the spine and the covers. -- Overall Condition.
