Previous owner signature, top right ffep, that of Margaret (Bloy Graham) Zion (1920-2015), illustrator of well-known Children's books, "All Falling Down" and "Harry the Dirty Dog" [four books in the Harry the Dog Series], which she wrote with her first husband, Gene Zion, whom she met when they both worked at Conde Nast as illustrators or commercial artists. From her obituary in The Guardian: "Graham and Zion divorced in 1968 [ostensibly, plausibly, a year after obtaining this copy of Sendak's book]. After their split, Graham wrote and illustrated her own stories, beginning with Be Nice to Spiders (1967). She created Benjy, a new doggy character, who first appeared in Benjy and the Barking Bird (1971) and then in several follow-ups, ending with Benjy and his Friend Fifi (1988). She also worked with other authors, including illustrating Jack Prelutsky's collection The Pack Rat's Day and Other Poems (1974) and What If? (1987) and It's Spring! (1989) by Else Homelund Minarik. Her second marriage, to Oliver Wendell Holmes, ended in divorce." After her divorce from Gene Zion, Zion never published again. Margaret (Bloy Graham) Zion died in Cambridge, MA in 2015.
