Beschreibung
First Edition in English, describing the war between two gangs from rival villages, Longeverne and Velrans, in the countryside of Franche-Comté. Translated by Stanley and Eleanor Hochman. Review copy with publisher's slip laid in. 8vo (209 x 139mm): [12],273,[1]pp. Publisher's black coarsely woven quarter cloth over marbled sides, spine lettered in red, top edge stained red, double-page illustrated title page; illustrated dust jacket, priced $5.95. An excellent example (apparently unread), tightly bound (head of spine lightly rubbed) and clean throughout. First published in 1912, as La Guerre des boutons. Those who fall into enemy hands face the humiliation of being stripped naked, spanked, and having the buttons cut off from their shirts and pants. The War of the Buttons has been reprinted more than 30 times, and is included on the French high-school curriculum. It was filmed in 1936, 1962, and 1994. N. B. With few exceptions (always identified), we only stock books in exceptional condition, with dust jackets carefully preserved in archival, removable mylar sleeves. All orders are packaged with care and posted promptly. Satisfaction guaranteed.
