Description: Trudi & Hansel A Story Of The Austrian Tyrol Averil Demuth 1938~1st Edition RARE is a cloth covered hardcover in good condition for it’s age. It is covered in some type of cloth...resembling silk, but not sure what it is. All pages are intact and binding is tight. Pages are clean but there is some yellowing due to age. Also, a name is written in the inside and some staining of the cloth cover due to age and handling. Item description: 1938, first edition; 160 x 210mm; pp 174; decorated board covers, ownership signature on the front fly; pictorial end papers; black and white and coloured drawings in the text, some full page and others chapter vignettes. This was Demuth's first book. This is a fairy tale told in such matter of fact manner that it seems like a might-be-true story. The setting is a valley in the Tyrol, presided over by the giant of the mountain. And the little children whose adventures climbing that mountain, to set things right for the village in the valley, seem fairly normal children, until one realizes that they converse freely with Berni the Dog, Gambo the Goat, Kraak the Jackdaw, and Lotti the Cow, all of whom join them in their adventures. Supported by the cheerful illustrations, the book was very well received and set Demuth on her writing career. ~~ Please look at all photos as they are the best depiction of the item~~ ~This item has always been in a non smoking, pet free home. ~Packed with care (we always add extra protection to ensure your books arrive in great condition!) and shipped within 24 hrs. of payment with USPS Media Mail.
