THE JUNIPER TREE AND OTHER TALES FROM GRIMM
New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1973. First Edition. Hardcover. This is copy number 156 of 500 signed by Lore Segal and Maurice Sendak, and accompanied by an extra suite of illustrations printed exclusively for this edition. For this acclaimed collection, Segal and Sendak jointly culled 27 stories from the 210 in the complete Grimm canon, and their contents page amounts to a fascinating critical statement. Translated by Lore Segal, with four tales translated by Randall Jarrell. Both translators have been painstakingly faithful to the German texts; they have not cut, "retold," or bowdlerized. Pictures by Maurice Sendak. Small octavo, two volumes. Original brown cloth bindings, with gilt stamping. The dust jackets are a touch sun faded along the spine; else a near fine set. Housed in the publisher's slipcase, which is unevenly sun faded. Near fine / Near fine. Item #75504
