Lo que sabía mi loro

Muy buen ejemplar de este título, uno de los más difíciles de hallar entre la producción editorial del exilio español en México. Cuarto marquilla, texto e imágenes dibujados a mano por Moreno Villa. Casi perfecto estado de conservación, a no ser por un corte en la guarda anterior (parece que alguien quería recortar una de las figuras, pero la acción por suerte no se consumó). Conserva el frágil lomo de cartón con el título impreso, que suele faltar.

A children's rhyme book thoroughly handwritten and drawn by spanish poet and draughtsman José Moreno Villa, during his lenghty exile in Mexico. Moreno Villa is best known as an early exponent of surrealism in Spain (for Jacinta la pelirroja), and later as a historian of baroque mexican art who coined the term "tequitqui" (as an analogue to the use of "mudéjar" in Spain). Edited by Manuel Altolaguirre under his imprint ISLA, it is one of the most elusive books produced by the spanish exiles in Mexico. Large quarto, publisher's printed boards, text and images thoroughly printed in color, unpaginated. Near fine, except for a cut of about 2'' to ffep (it looks like someone was trying to cut out one of the figurines, but luckily got prevented from doing it in the last minute). The fragile cardboard spine is present and whole. Previous owners signature on title page, presumably by a relative of the author.
