Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1946.
Sold
Hardcover. First edition. Illustrated by Ursula Koering. Oblong thin quarto. Old gift card inscription affixed with tape to the front fly, modest overall wear, thus about very good in good price-clipped dustwrapper with a chip on the front panel, a long tear on the rear panel with an internal tape repair, and some small nicks and modest wear. Signed by both Bontemps and Conroy. Bontemps was an influential writer and member of the Harlem Renaissance, well known for his fiction, and for his children's books, including a collaboration with Langston Hughes. Conroy was a white leftist author and anthologist. An interesting collaboration, a scarce children's book, and not often found either in jacket or signed.+.
