Coatsworth, Elizabeth; [Ward, Lynd]. THE CAT WHO WENT TO HEAVEN. Macmillan, New York, 1930.
Price: US$650.00 + shipping
Description: First printing of the winner of the 1931 Newbery Medal winner, an example of Lynd Ward's more delicate brush illustrations. THE CAT WHO WENT TO HEAVEN is framed as a Japanese Buddhist folktale, and follows a down-on-his-luck painter who gains a new lease on life when his cook adopts a calico cat. Lynd Ward's illustrations for this story are a departure from his more well-known woodcuts, and mimic the ukiyo-e style in which the painter character executes his masterpiece. This is a lovely copy in the scarce jacket. 9.25'' x 8''. Original red cloth. Original unclipped ($2.00) pictorial dust jacket. Illustrations in black and white. 58 pages. Jacket with light toning, a tiny bit of chipping to corners and spine ends; two small tape repairs to verso. Binding with a little bumping to spine ends, a touch of shelfwear. Occasional finger soiling to margins of leaves. Tight. Near fine in very good dust jacket.
