Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dr. Seuss (illustrator). 1st Edition. Random House, 1939. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Early Printing. Children's hardcover picture book with yellow cloth-covered boards with dark-red lettering to front; no jacket. Very good condition: a couple of slight spots to back board; light wear to spine tips and corners of binding; straight and tight; interior is excellent. New plastic protective jacket. New York: Random House 1939, 1939. First edition. Large 4to, un-paginated. Sunshine-yellow boards with dark red-stamped title to upper board. Copyright page cites only the first two books by this author: "Mullberry Street" and "The Five Hundred Hats". Tight. No names or other markings. The King's Stilts tells the story of King Birtram of Binn, who dedicates himself to safeguarding his kingdom, which exists in a precarious state. It is surrounded by water, which is held back from flooding the land by a ring of dike trees, which are in turn subject to attack from flocks of nizzards. To protect the kingdom, a legion of Patrol Cats is organized to keep the nizzards at bay, and King Birtram sees to their care personally. When not attending to his royal duties, the King enjoys himself with a rigorous cavorting on his personal red stilts, which distresses his minister Lord Droon. When Droon manipulates the King's page boy Eric to steal and hide the stilts, the King grows depressed and begins to neglect his duties. As a result, the Patrol Cats become less vigilant, and soon the nizzards eat away the dike trees. Seeing the results of his actions, Eric resolves to return the stilts to the King and succeeds in doing so despite Lord Droon's efforts to stop him. King Birtram then summons the energy to mobilize the Patrol Cats to fight off the nizzards and save the kingdom. Lord Droon is imprisoned and forced to eat nizzard every day while Eric is rewarded with his own pair of red stilts, joining the King on his outings. The King's Stilts serves as a morality tale teaching the benefits of what we would now call "the work-life balance".

Hardcover. First Edition, Early Printing Variant. Quarto, unpaginated. In Very Good condition with Very Good dust jacket. Spine grey. Dust jacket protected with a mylar covering; price uncut: "175/175." Some mild shelf wear, with a small open tear to lower for corner of front cover and minor chipping to corners. First Edition, Early Printing Variant, with full orange binding, titling stamped in dark blue/green, and dust jacket priced at 175/175 with Horton Hears a Who ad to rear flap priced at "$1.75." Two titles listed on copyright page, which is dated 1939. AL Consignment. Shelved in Case 2. This printing of The King's Stilts is not in Younger's bibliography, and runs counter to the standard description of the 200/200 price being the Second Printing/Issue. The First Printing had a binding of large red panels with yellow lettering, and later printings are bound in all-yellow cloth with no red panel and red lettering. With the First Printing being priced at 150/150 and most other early printings being 200/200, and Horton Hears a Who being published originally with a price of 150/150 in the fall of 1940, this copy is presumed to be 1941 or later. The dust jacket is also 3cm shorter than the boards, but does not appear to be married. 1361760. Shelved Dupont Bookstore.
