Condition: New
Description: Hardcover. Dr. Seuss's classic treatise on the importance of a balanced life! A Seussian spin on a conventional fairy tale, The King's Stilts is as topical today as when it was first published in 1939. It's the story of a devoted king who works hard and plays hardand whose entire kingdom is threatened when his beloved stilts are stolen and he is too distraught to do his job. Written in prose instead of rhyme (unlike Seuss's later works), The King's Stilts nevertheless addresses subjects that we know Dr. Seuss was passionate about throughout his life: duty (as in Horton Hears a Who and Horton Hatches the Egg); the abuse of power (as in The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins and Yertle the Turtle); deceit (as in The Bippolo Seed and How the Grinch Stole Christmas)--and even cats (as in The Cat in the Hat and I Can Lick 30 Tigers Today)! Follow the Good Doctor's advice: After a hard day of work, have fun with a great book like The King's Stilts! When the King's stilts are stolen and hidden, and he can no longer enjoy his play hour, the whole kingdom is threatened with destruction until a page boy bravely saves the day. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: Fine
Description: Random House, 1939. Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. Early Printing. Children's hardcover picture book with yellow cloth-covered boards with dark-red lettering to front; no jacket. Very good condition: a couple of slight spots to back board; light wear to spine tips and corners of binding; straight and tight; interior is excellent. New plastic protective jacket. New York: Random House 1939, 1939. First edition. Large 4to, un-paginated. Sunshine-yellow boards with dark red-stamped title to upper board. Copyright page cites only the first two books by this author: "Mullberry Street" and "The Five Hundred Hats". Tight. No names or other markings. The King's Stilts tells the story of King Birtram of Binn, who dedicates himself to safeguarding his kingdom, which exists in a precarious state. It is surrounded by water, which is held back from flooding the land by a ring of dike trees, which are in turn subject to attack from flocks of nizzards. To protect the kingdom, a legion of Patrol Cats is organized to keep the nizzards at bay, and King Birtram sees to their care personally. When not attending to his royal duties, the King enjoys himself with a rigorous cavorting on his personal red stilts, which distresses his minister Lord Droon. When Droon manipulates the King's page boy Eric to steal and hide the stilts, the King grows depressed and begins to neglect his duties. As a result, the Patrol Cats become less vigilant, and soon the nizzards eat away the dike trees. Seeing the results of his actions, Eric resolves to return the stilts to the King and succeeds in doing so despite Lord Droon's efforts to stop him. King Birtram then summons the energy to mobilize the Patrol Cats to fight off the nizzards and save the kingdom. Lord Droon is imprisoned and forced to eat nizzard every day while Eric is rewarded with his own pair of red stilts, joining the King on his outings. The King's Stilts serves as a morality tale teaching the benefits of what we would now call "the work-life balance".
