196961174bdCleveland: The World Publishing Company 1969. First American Edition. Oblong octavo full-color illus. boards hardcover full-color illus. endpapers unpaginated 26 pp. Fine in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From dust jacket: When the miller died he left nothing at all to his youngest son except -- of all things -- a cat. Unhappy with his meader lot the boy despaired of ever earning a livelihood for himself. But to his surprise the cat spoke up and offered to help him in return for only a sack and a pair of boots. With these he proposed to seek his young master’s fortune. And from his fist visit to the king bearing a plump white rabbit as a gift to the mysterious disappearance of the fearsome ogre Puss proved himself to be the most ingenious of cats and a treasure indeed. Charles Perrault first set down this delctable tale in 1697; its rollicking humor made it an instant and perennial favorite. Now at last if finds its perfect expression in a translation which follows closely PErrault’s original version and in Barry Wilkinson’s warm and gleeful illustrations which reinterpret for today’s children the vitality and beauty of seventeenth-century France in striking design and glowing stained-glass colors.
