About This Item
London: Bodley Head, 1960. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Very Good/Very Good+. Nicolas Bentley. 12mo. Pp. 207. Red cloth, titles stamped in gilt on the spine. Board edges rubbed, top edge dust-soiled, mildly cocked. In the illustrated dust jacket printed red and black, price clipped. Jacket with edge-wear, spine color just a tad faded. Despite those factors, dust jacket remains bright. Queneau's 1959 hit novel written in the slang of a foul-mouthed adolescent, considered untranslatable, in its first English version. Bentley's cartoons and illustrations appeared in many British publications. Here he brilliantly conveys Zazie's spunk in contrast with staid establishment figures. Jacket preserved in a removable clear archival sleeve.
