New York: Hyperion Books, 2002. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. vg. Quarto. [8], 63, [2]pp. Original illustrated dust-jacket over paper covered boards. Decorative endpapers. Frontispiece. Illustrated title-page signed by Rosemary Wells and Brian Selznick. Enchanting work in which the author waltzes us through the stubbly cornfields of a lost America, a land of small farms, distant radio music, and county fairs, where men and women of great faith danced on the wings of planes for a few dollars. Selznick's sensitive, masterful paintings capture the majesty and grace of that time gone by. Dust-jacket, binding and interior as new.
