Description:
Lenox, Massachusetts: Bookstore Press, 1971. Illustrated by Maurice Sendak 8vo size red clothbound hardcover with illustrated dust jacket; 43 pages with black and white illustrations throughout. From dust jacket: "(This book) swings with graceful illogic from one misadventure to another: each revealing child-bounciness, child-reverence in the rhythm and timing which (the author) heard spoken by actual children. The drawings by Maurice Sendak capture flight, fall, re-birth - all the quick, bird-like movements of children on the run, making discovery." Ruth Krauss (1901 - 1993) was a writer and illustrator, primarily of children's books. She was married to Crocket Johnson, also a children's book writer, and collaborated with him on several books.

N. Y.: Harper & Brothers, 1958 HC and DJ. First Edition. 10 1/8 x 6 7/8. 43 pp. The glorious combination of Krauss and Sendak in Somebody Else's Nut Tree make this children's book a classic. Sendak's black and white drawings mirror the essence of the engaging words: a full page illus. appears across from each page of text. Krauss and Sendak have captured the realm of childhood with humour, truth and beauty. This is one of their very early collaborations. DJ is white with red sketches of a dream of a little girl. A dotted line leads the viewer on a circuitous path as the events of the adventurous dream are revealed, ending w ith the child at last awakening, and leaping into the arms of her parents. This dj illus could be considered an precursor to Where the Wild Things Are. DJ is slightly smudged; tears to corners. Price clip on flap. Sendak illus on rear of dj. Binding is red with white sketches (reverse of dj illus) Some shelf wear to edges and corners, but overall, bind is bright,…
