Seller's Description:
Very Good in Fair jacket. Size: 8vo 8"-9" tall; Nice-looking hardcover copy of the First Edition, bound in green cloth, clean and unmarked of interior. Dust jacket present, machine-but not price-clipped, protected in Brodart, but considerably worn and chipped. A fine juvenile tale but a novel for all ages and illustrated by the author: "The King raised his head and gave the great 'Harrooo' of a lion tortured by magical mice. He strode so heavily to the door that the shields. I hope that all my sons get lost, " said King Clode. "That's one way out." 115 pp. Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.
Fun and funny, magical and musical, this witty fairy tale is enjoyable for children and even more so for adults.
In the style of two other Thurber masterpieces, The Thirteen Clocks and The Wonderful O, he casts a shimmering spell of poetry and comedy and adventure. Even in the fairy tale setting, his humor has that timeless Mark Twain-ish, so-direct-as-to-be-forever-colloquial stamp.
Anyone with a taste for such (I know there must be grim types who wouldn't delight in witty whimsy, though it's hard to imagine) will love The White Deer.
