About This Item
New York: Doubleday and Company, 1976. Very good in very good dust jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this tale of an enormous Norwegian horse-eating bird, and the lengths four children will go to in order to protect their steed. From mythology to history to fantasy and everything in between, the works of husband and wife team Edgar Parin and Ingri d'Aulaire have long been indelible parts of the children's literature pantheon. Their use of stone lithography for their illustrations gave their books an "uncanny hand-drawn vibrancy" that makes them a treat to look at (NEW YORK REVIEW BOOKS). The d'Aulaires earned numerous accolades over their joint careers, including a Caldecott Medal and a nomination for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
THE TERRIBLE TROLL-BIRD is a retelling of the d'Aulaires' 1933 book OLA AND BLAKKEN, with new illustrations that focus more on the monstrous bird. 12.25'' x 9''. Original color pictorial boards. Original unclipped ($6.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color and black and white. 46 pages. Inscribed by Ingri d'Aulaire and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire to half-title page to Brenda and Wallace Kuralt, owners of the Intimate Bookshop in Chapel Hill, NC. Jacket with some light edgewear, some chipping to lower spine; closed tear to lower front panel, a few touches of soil. Binding with a bit of bumping to spine ends, small spot of soil near front upper hinge. Leaves with scattered soil to margins, a few children's doodles to rear endpapers. Colors vibrant.
