Front panel illustration matches Rackham plate inside: "By tea-time Jessina had washed one hundred and thirteen bundles of laundry, which was certainly, she thought, some help to her hostess, Mrs. Woodchuck." Rare near very good first edition in near very good original jacket. "The Velveteen Rabbit or How Toys Become Real was Margery Williams Bianco's first American work, and it remains her most famous. It became an instant classic. After becoming a renowned author, Bianco wrote numerous other children's books, with her son becoming the namesake of one of them, 1925's Poor Cecco - a distinguished book. This lively adventure story, virtually a novel for children, is a brilliant exception to the sentimentality of Bianco's more famous book. Each of the many characters who populate the nursery toy cupboard is a distinct and amusing personality. Their interactions with each other and with the human, animal, and toy members of the world beyond it, whom they encounter on their quest for adventure and search for a lost friend, are individuated with understated humor. The relationship between the wooden dog Cecco, a natural leader, and Jensina, a highly independent and spirited wooden doll, is both subtle and funny. Superb illustrations by Arthur Rackham are a perfect accentuation to the narrative. While the publisher probably found it more practical to promote the shorter Velveteen Rabbit, Cecco's celebrated illustrator assured its survival." Latimore and Haskell, p. 59; Riall, p. 155. Printed in the United States of America. 176 pages. Insured post. Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
