The Ring: With Musical Themes by Richard Wagner

New York: Alfred A. Knopf (1964).

$450.00

First edition, library issue, first state without "Gibraltar Library Binding" stamped on the rear board (also issued in cloth). Oblong quarto. Illustrated by Warren Chappell. Adapted from musical themes by Richard Wagner. Publisher's pictorial boards, without dustwrapper (as this variant was issued). A trifle soiled, fine. Despite being from the library issue, this is NOT an ex-library copy, and as such is very uncommon. A nice copy of one of the author's scarcest children's books.
