About this Item

Scarce first printing of this Tasha Tudor bunny tale, a collaboration with her first husband. "Encouraged by his wife's success, Thomas McCready also began to write children's books about the farm animals in New Hampshire," note Tudor bibliographers William and Priscilla Hare (5); INCREASE RABBIT is one such story drawn from Tudor and McCready's rural New England family farm. Following the house rabbit of the Warner family named after the town adjoining Webster, where Tudor and McCready owned a large 1790s farm house this story and its illustrations feature characters based on the Tudor-McCready children. This is an unusual Tudor title, in remarkably nice condition. 8'' x 6''. Original yellow cloth binding with black lettering. Original unclipped ($2.75) color pictorial dust jacket. Color pictorial endpapers of the Warner children and their various animals. Illustrated in color and black and white. [26] leaves. Jacket with a hint of edgewear, a touch of sunning to spine; a bit of soil to rear. Book sharp and bright. Fine in about fine dust jacket.
