[Item #61105] Fifi. Ludwig BEMELMANS.

Fifi

New York: Simon and Schuster, 1940. First Edition. First Printing. Tall quarto (31cm); pictorial paper-covered boards; cat and dog patterned endpapers; dustjacket; [46]pp; illus. Wear to spine ends and upper corners, some insect damage to lower board edges (resulting in some spotty board exposure), though contents are immaculate; Very Good+. Dustjacket is price-clipped, gently sunned and modestly worn, with a few tiny nicks, tears, and creases, and a faint trace of insect damage to rear flap fold and extremities; Very Good. First and only edition of this title, which has not been reprinted since 1940 (perhaps owing to the racist and stereotypical depictions of native Ugandans throughout the story).

Price: $1,250.00
