By the author of the best-selling THREE GOLDEN KEYS. While my father was in China and Tibet, he kept a diary, which was later locked in a red box. We weren't allowed to touch the box. The stories I heard as a little boy faded to a hazy dream, and my drawings from that time make no sense. I cannot decipher them. It was not until I myself had gone far, far away and received the message from my father that I became interested in the red box again. In New York, Peter Sis receives a letter from his father. 'The Red Box is now yours,' it says. The brief note worries him and pulls him back to Prague, where the contents of the red box explain the mystery of his father's long absence during the 1950s. Czechoslovakia was behind the iron curtain; Vladimir Sis, a documentary filmmaker of considerable talent, was drafted into the army and sent to China to teach filmmaking. He left his wife, daughter, and young son, Peter, thinking he would be home for Christmas. Two Christmases would pass before he was heard from again: Vladimir Sis was lost in Tibet. He met with the Dalai Lama; he witnessed China's invasion of Tibet. When he returned to Prague, he dared not talk to his friends about all he had seen and experienced. But over and over again he told Peter about his Tibetan adventures. Weaving their two stories together - that of the father lost in Tibet and that of the small boy in Prague, lost without his father - Sis draws from his father's diary and from his own recollections of his father's incredible tales to reach a spiritual homecoming between father and son. With his sublime pictures, inspired by Tibetan Buddhist art and linking history to memory, Peter Sis gives us an extraordinary book - a work of singular artistry and rare imagination.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. [xx], 236p. 1st printing. Signed by author and Rodney on half title page. People's Weekly World book review, November 22-28, 2003, laid in. Biography recounting the Daily Worker sportswriter's career and campaign to end segregation in American sports. Lester Rodney, sports journalist for the Communist newspaper The Daily Worker, has often been overlooked when recounting the story of Jackie Robinson's signing with the Brooklyn Dodgers baseball team in 1945, thereby integrating the sport. However, Rodney had been working since 1936 to overturn the injustice of segregated ball teams. The timing was right when Rodney wrote a letter to the editor of the Daily Worker "pointing out some ways they could improve their sports stuff" because in the 1930s, the Communist Party aimed to appeal to the masses through popular culture, adding among other features two full pages of sports coverage. Rodney covered the sports as any sports journalist would, but with an eye on social conscience while showing "the fun side of sports and the beauty, too." His column for The Daily Worker was one of the paper's most popular. Silber combines thorough research with 30 hours of interviews conducted with Rodney to ensure that much of the book is in Rodney's voice a critically well-received biography of a hidden hero. Includes bibliography. B&w plates. (8-7/8"x6"). Signed by Author(s).

November 1995, Blandford, Massachusetts), also known as Winifred Lefferts Arms, was a painter, designer and philanthropist. A member of the Lefferts family, early settlers of Brooklyn, she studied and exhibited art, and designed for New York book publishers prior to her 1937 marriage to Carleton Macy. Following her marriage to Robert A. Arms in 1952 she painted as Winifred L. Arms. After the death of her second husband she became known for philanthropy and for founding a private residential treatment center in Carmel, New York, named Arms Acres. The daughter of Oscar Leffert Lefferts and Winifred Wood, Winifred Earl Lefferts was born into a socially prominent family. Her mother was descended from Francis Fauquier, Colonial lieutenant governor of Virginia, and Major Nathan Peters of Connecticut, aide to General George Washington. Through her father Lefferts was descended from Oliver Wolcott, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence; Matthew Griswold, governor of Connecticut; and Pieter Lefferts, an early Dutch settler of Brooklyn. Winifred Lefferts studied at the Pratt Institute Art School and the National Academy of Design in New York. She won a fellowship from the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation in 1925, and received prizes from the National Arts Club in 1931, 1933 and 1936. She held membership in the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors, the New York Watercolor Club, the American Watercolor Society and the Allied Artists of America." "Lefferts illustrated books and designed dust jackets for American book publishers in the 1920s and 1930s. Books that credit her as illustrator include Elaine Sterne Carrington's The Gypsy Star (1928) and Laura E. Richards' 1935 book of children's verses, Merry-Go-Round. Lefferts' name or her distinctive "W.E.L." signature appears on many book jackets, including the U.S. edition of W. Somerset Maugham's The Casuarina Tree (1926), DuBose Heyward's Angel (1926) and M. P. Shiel's Dr. Krasinski's Secret (1929). She designed covers for Rex Stout's How Like a God (1929) and Seed on the Wind (1930), and for three of Stout's early Nero Wolfe novels . The League of Frightened Men (1935), The Rubber Band (1936) and The Red Box (1937)." Very fine condition.
