Description: [CHILDREN'S BOOKS, ILLUSTRATIONS] ESTES, Eleanor (author) SLOBODKIN, Louis (illustrations) "THE SUN AND THE WIND AND MR. TODD" New York. Harcourt, Brace and Company. 1943. First Edition. Quarto (8.25 inches x 11.0 inches). Original tan boards with brown lettering. Complete with unclipped ('$2.00') pictorial dust jacket. Christmas gift inscription on front paste down dated 'December 25, 1945'. Overall, about near fine. A very difficult WWII era picturebook to find in any condition in the first issue, much less in near fine condition with an unclipped first issue dust jacket. Both Estes and Slobodkin are highly regarded and awarded author / artists and this book is a testament to their skill and collaboration. Slobodkin would win the Caldecott Medal the next year for his partnership with James Thurber on 'Many Moons' also released in 1943. ___________________(From the book review of the title) Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE
