Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by Helen Finger (illustrator). First Edition. [light shelfwear only to book, soft vertical creases in pages throughout the second half of the book; the jacket is age-toned but still attractive, with small tears and tiny bits of paper loss at several corners, miscellaneous tiny edge-nicks, 1.5" splits at bottom front hinge and top rear flapfold]. (B&W line drawings) This children's tale, by an American author who had "spent her childhood in Dettelbach [the story's setting] and has intimately known the people who appear in the book," is set in a medieval Bavarian town "300 years older than Nuremberg" -- an interesting comparison to make, given that Nuremberg had achieved a certain notoriety in the news just a couple of years earlier (think Laws; think rallies). The story tells of "Oskar, a chimney-sweep's helper, [who] lives in a funny little wooden shack on top of an ancient tower [and] longs to be a musician.".

Condition: Very good. - Letter penned in black ink & filling both sides of a 3-1/2 inch high by 6-1/4 inch wide gray card. Signed "Rita Kissin". A blue check mark to the right of Pond's address indicates he has answered the letter. Near fine. Kissin writes to James B. Pond of the New York City Pond Lecture Bureau telling him she is planning a lecture tour of German-speaking countries in Europe and asking him to let her know whether German lecture agents have representatives in New York. "I speak in German and have credentials from, Postmaster General [Harry] New, Secretary [of State Frank B.] Kellogg and the German Ambassador".Born in the U.S. in 1885 and educated in Germany and Russia to the age of fourteen, Rita Kissin returned to America to complete her education. After graduating from the Second International Montessori Training Course in Rome in 1914 she organized and operated Montessori kindergartens in New York and New Jersey. Two years later she began lecturing for the New York Board of Education on European travel and the Montessori Method. She worked briefly for the Universal Film Company in the 1920s, wrote publicity stories for Mary Pickford, Cecil B. De Mille and others and became Hollywood correspondent for Frankfurter Zeitung. In the thirties she studied psychology at the New School for Social Research and acted as a consultant in the Montessori Method to schools in Honolulu. Kissin was the author of children's books and also wrote about the Montessori Method and her own experiences of training for and practicing this method of teaching.
