First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good+. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good dj. Illustrated by (dj and frontispiece) Arthur Szyk (illustrator). First Edition. (price-clipped) [light shelfwear, age-toning to edges of text block, one-time owner's signature on ffep; jacket is unevenly sun-browned (with notable darkening/fading to spine), with a couple of tiny edge-tears, one slightly ragged 1.25-inch tear at upper front hinge, minor paper loss at spine extremities]. An amalgamation of 17 theatre pieces of varying lengths (mostly of the one-act variety, although a couple of them are roughly 50 pages in length and divided into scenes), each of which is accompanied by a brief introductory essay in which Saroyan expounds upon the circumstances of its creation, discusses the ideas underlying it, tells some anecdote, or just generally rambles on. (Some of these are almost as long as the pieces they introduce, and I daresay some of them are more entertaining, too.) And Saroyan, being given as always to exuberant excess, has included both an Introduction and a Preface. The most notable title in the collection is probably "Hello Out There," which was adapted as a short film in 1949 which has the distinction of being the last thing directed by James Whale.

About the book: (From the Dust Jacket) Andersen's Fairy Tales Illustrated by Arthur Szyk. WHILE FAIRY TALES, adapted from the folklore of many lands, seem always to have been with us. it was actually young Dane named Hans Christian Andersen, who only a little over one hundred years ago began to create and write the fairy tale as we know it today. Such favorites as The Steadfast Tin Soldier, The Ugly Duckling, The Snow Queen are entirely the creation of the man whose own life reads like a fairy tale. and who died in Copenhagen in 1875. One reason for the popularity of Andersen's stories among children is that he never assumed a condescending attitude toward his readers. He never "wrote down" to them. In this new edition, in which the selection has been made with the help of wise and understanding authorities on children's literature, the translations by Mrs. Lucas and Mrs. Paull have faithfully retained the dramatic qualities and simple style of the stories as they were first written. Arthur Szyk's brilliant illustrations make this memorable edition of Andersen's Tales. Drawn exclusively for THE ILLUSTRATED JUNIOR LIBRARY.
