The Country Bunny and the Little Gold Shoes by DuBose Heyward & illustrated by Marjorie Flack
FIRST EDITION • 40th PRINTING [1976] HOUGHTON MIFFLIN
40th hardcover printing (1976) of this original line of first edition hardcover printings first published in 1939..
Hardcover with dust jacket in very good condition. Dust jacket has a few torn / frayed edges, but is otherwise clean, vibrant and fully in tact. Looks great in a new HQ brodart jacket protector.
Book itself is in beautiful shape. Spot of mild bubbling (or possible water stain?) to front boards; otherwise pristine. Pages look and read like new!
The country bunny is a lady, and she attains the exalted position of Easter Bunny in spite of her responsibilities as the mother of twenty-one children. That the story ends with success and a reward is, of course, as every child would wish.
Like so many other classic stories for children, this one grew from being told and retold to a child for many years. That is why Mr. Heyward gives credit on the title-page to his eight-year-old daughter, Jenifer.
