Thin rust stain from paperclipJacket is not stapled or glued to the text pages. Illustrated with 55 pictures in three colors.Destined to become one of the most beloved, deep and wise "children's" books, this proof copy introduced to reviewers Lobel's genius-level "wisdom text", at once a work of philosophy and spirituality, practicality and good natured ability to be fully present for experiences. Lobels work was incidentally perhaps not-so-innocently couched in "children's book" form, but could handily function as combination religious-text, self-help or marriage manual, and consciousness-raising holy scroll. The book consists of six brief, picaresque tales of Grasshopper, a perpetual sojourner, open-hearted, hungry for experiences, gregarious yet independent, who repeatedly runs into acceptance which soon turns into parochial and clannish narrow-mindedness and returns, joyfully, to the road, once again, free!This book could change your life, and here it is in early form, just a hint of what wise Lobelian counsel was to come.
