Item Details
In Dillafluff Land.
New Jersey: Standard Publishing Concern, Publishers, 1910. First Edition. Hardcover. “Esther from Aunt Ann, Xmas 1910”. The black and white Illustrations are by A.G. Learned. Extremely scarce, no known copies. Odd, children’s nonsense nursery rhymes with accompanying anthropomorphic figures very similar to Dr. Seuss’ characters created much later, and similarly, the rhyming is reminiscent of Edward Lear. The book was marketed and reviewed in major publications, but little is known about the author or other published books. The characters were affectionately described as “freakish” and “queer” in reviews. Good+ in Wraps. Light shelf/edge wear, front boards loose with light toning, few page tears, one loose leaf, but present, else bright and unmarred. Oblong 8vo. [58]pp. Illus. (b/w plates). American Red Cross stamp.
