Hardcover in Dust Jacket. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. This book is hard-bound in color, pictorial printed paper covered boards, in a very nice dust jacket. The covers show some bumping to the corners and spine-ends. The binding is solid. The contents are bright and clean with nice color illustrations. This book is signe…d by the illustrator Lisbeth Zwerger at the top of the title-page. From the collection of Cuthbert Christian Thambimuttu (1945-2019) of Columbus, Ohio - known to many of his bookseller, author, and illustrator friends as "Tubby." He was persistent in the pursuit of autographed books by the writers and artists he admired, including Gorey, Sendak, Heaney, Byatt, Morrison, Updike and many more. Joseph Heller once wrote to Tubby in response to one more "please sign and return" request: "This is turning out to be a hell of a lot of work!" All signed books unconditionally guaranteed to be authentic. Many of the books are inscribed to both Cuthbert and his great friend of more than two decades Antonia Gale Moss. ; Signed by Illustrator.

Hard Cover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Included. First Trade. Pictures by Maurice Sendak, including nine 2-page color spreads. Translated by Ralph Manheim. First trade edition, first printing. Signed by Sendak on the half-title page. Publisher's dark purple cloth, with front board and spine lettered in silver foil, front board… decorated in blind, and pictorial endpapers; in its original dark blue dust jacket, with nutcracker illustration by Sendak to front panel, mouse illustration to rear panel, lettered in black, red, and white. About fine book, with light toning to edges, and a faint spot to fore-edge of textblock; fine unclipped dust jacket. With 12-page uncorrected proof copy laid in ("non-consecutive pages"), with front wrapper matching design on front panel of dust jacket. Fine uncorrected proof copy, with just a hint of edgewear. Overall, a wonderful copy of this beautifully illustrated book. Originally published in 1816 and titled "The Nutcracker and the Mouse King," this classic Christmas story opens on Christmas Eve, when a young girl named Marie is gifted a nutcracker with a broken jaw. Later that night, when Marie is alone with the nutcracker, he comes alive and fends off a horde of mice led by the Mouse King. Eventually, through Marie's love, the nutcracker is transformed back into a human, and the two marry and travel to the doll kingdom. An 1844 retelling of the story by Alexandre Dumas (author of The Three Musketeers), was used as the basis of Tchaikovsky's masterful holiday ballet, The Nutcracker. For this edition, Sendak based his illustrations on the Pacific Northwest Ballet's successful production of The Nutcracker, which he designed sets and costumes for. The production premiered in 1983 and emphasized some of the weirder elements of Hoffmann's story. Maurice Sendak (illustrator). Inscribed by Illustrator.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition, First Printing. Boldly SIGNED by Sendak on the half-title page, dated Nov. 29, '84, the same month of the book's release. Navy blue cloth-covered boards with silver lettering to front and spine, with a blind-stamped decorative design on front. Front board slightly bowed. Color pictorial dust jacket, unclipped, wit…h light wear along edges and front turn. Illustrated endpapers. Internally clean and bright. Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. A beautifully illustrated book by one of the most beloved children's illustrators of our time. In 1983, the year prior to this book's publication, Sendak was asked to design the costumes for the Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of the Nutcracker. The New York Times Book Review (Nov. 11, 1984) states, "Some of Mr. Sendak's illustrations are adaptations of sketches for the Seattle production, but many have been done especially for the book. Necessarily, the manners are different, but the dissonance is not disturbing in the least. The pictures are evocative, Hoffmanesque, and appropriately scary." and "Indeed, illustrations is too modest a term: these pictures are part of the essences of 'Nutcracker,' not just dressing." Hanrahan A119.
