Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. Van Allsburg, Chris (illustrator). First Edition; First Printing. Book is nearly fine but for what appears to be an erasure to the black front free endpaper. Also a bump to the upper spine end. The dust jacket is faded along the spine, crimping to the upper spine, otherwise nearly fine. $8.95 to the front flap. No Caldecott Medal on jacket. A very nice copy of his first book. ; Oblong 8vo 8" to 9" tall; Sometimes that very thin line between illusion and reality is not as clearly defined as we would like it to be. It certainly wasn't the day that Alan Mitz stumbled into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. For in this bizarre and eerie place -- where strange topiary trees loomed -- the evil visage of Gasazi casts its shadow. And even after Alan escaped, the spell of Gasazi still seemed to penetrate into his everyday world. In this extraordinary, unusual, and unique picture book, Chris Van Allsburg explores both the real and surreal worlds with incredible deftness. In doing so, he has created exquisite and beautiful images that will continue to haunt readers long after they have left the enchanted garden of Abdul Gasazi.
