About this Item
FIRST EDITION, full-page illustrations by Luis Seoane, a sliver of waterstaining at head of final few leaves, pp. 205, foolscap 8vo, original wrappers with Seoane illustration to front, lightly browned and knocked in one spot, the tissue wrapper browned and frayed, good. With an affectionate inscription by the author to the flyleaf: 'A Eduardo R[? name illegible].' - hoping that he derives some pleasure from these stories. Platero was a Uruguayan writer and diplomat, a noted beauty and friend of Borges - the latter's introduction references Henry James, Poe, the Arabian Nights, Don Quixote, Virgil, and Seneca. The book was latterly in the collection of Borges's translator Norman Thomas di Giovanni. Seller Inventory # 65930
