Seller's Description:
Moira Kemp. New in Very Good jacket. Book CONDITION: UNREAD, but not perfect, 1988 Little, Brown hardcover (blue boards) and dust jacket (in mylar jacket), first US edition, assumed 1st printing. Beautiful color illustrations but mostly B&W illustrations by Moira Kemp. Problem: The DJ shows light edge wear especially at fold. There is light foxing top edges. CONTENT: This collection of tales includes folk tales and legends gathered on Williams-Ellis' travels to many countries in order 'to help children to increase their understanding of countries other than their own. '' The 22 tales are told in a fashion clearly derived from the oral tradition: each could be used effectively for storytelling exactly as written. While a few of the stories are familiar, such as "The Fifty Red Night-Caps'' and "Tom-Tit-Tot, '' most are less well known and will provide a rich source for storytellers. Each tale is followed by a short statement as to origin, including, in some instances, references to further sources. The stories themselves make this a valuable work; the accompanying illustrations make it outstanding. Kemp's numerous black-and-white sketches are delightful. The color illustrations, one per story, are unique in their approach and use of space, tying text and picture together. The illustration for "The Country of Mice, '' for example, shows the surrendering Tibetan chief through the enlarged lens of a telescope held by a king, made tiny by distance, who tops the text on the facing page. With the rich color illustrations and the humor and joy of the black-and-white sketches, each tale becomes a small picture book. [I am very fond of "The Bear in the Coach."] Questions welcome & answered. 22 stories.
