Sobre este item
New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1990. 1st/1st. NF/NF. Stated First American Edition. The book is tight and square with solid hinges, good tips, and clean unmarred boards. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate or markings and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. Dust jacket is unclipped ($18.95) with light shelf-wear and faint crinkles to spine ends. Seven stories plus a preface with 40 B&W illustrations by John Lawrence. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover.
The sweet scents of rural life infuse this beautifully crafted collection of Roald Dahl's country stories, but there is always something unexpected lurking in the undergrowth. Whether it is taking a troublesome cow to be mated with a prime bull; dealing with a rat-infested hayrick; learning the ways and means of maggot farming; or describing the fine art of poaching pheasants using nothing but raisins and sleeping pills, Roald Dahl brings his stories of everyday country folk and their strange passions wonderfully to life. Lacing each tale with dollops of humor and adding a sprinkling of the sinister, Dahl ensures that this short story collection celebrates the sweet mysteries of life.
Sinopse
