About This Item
Tight, square spine. Clean, unmarked interior. No notable wear to the book. Jacket has light to moderate edge-wear. Afterword by Edith Thacher Hurd. Jacket design by Andrew Hoyem. In the late 1930s, at the urging of editor Margaret Wise Brown, vanguard children's publishers Young Scott Books solicited stories from Ernest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, and Gertrude Stein; Stein was the only one who accepted, and she spun a tale centered around her most famous line, 'Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose.' This trade adaptation of the Arion Press fine press edition puts a slightly different spin on the blue type and pink pages first demanded by Stein, and includes illustrations inspired by the linocuts by Hurd, who is himself best known as a collaborator of Brown's. 163 pp. Text+Image.
