Description
Roy 8vo, non-paginated. Hardcover in white paper boards illustrated by the author with an identical non price- clipped d/w protected in clear archival covering. Very minor soiling present on both the book and d/w but otherwise both are in very good or better condition, each page opening is principally one or more illustrations in the author’s classical style with partial use of colours with the text positioned around the artwork and all pages are in an excellent state. This childrens’ book arose from a hospital visit by the author’s son where she met a lonely young female patient who received no visitors. So she wrote the little girl a story and it was coloured by the other children in the ward to then be turned into a book at the urging of the hospital staff. Heartwarming reading.
