About This Item
New York: Morrow Junior Books, 1996. First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket.. First printing of this darling Christmas story of Jack the bunny's unexpectedly adventurous quest to give his sweetheart a gift - with lovely fold-out illustrations. Michael Hague's detailed style is very much in the aesthetic tradition of Golden Age artists like Howard Pyle and Arthur Rackham. His illustrations for collections of classic stories make his art a touchstone of many childhoods, and a visual delight for all readers. 9'' x 8.75''. Original cloth-backed boards. Original unclipped ($16.00) color pictorial dust jacket. Illustrated in color with eight fold-outs. [24] pages. Sharp and bright.
