I bought it because Harold Dow Bugbee AND Olive Vanderuff Bugbee did the illustrations. First time I have seen this joint credit for wife and husband. The art is some of the best I have seen (and I know I still have a lot of the works to yet see).
The book, unfortunately, appears to be written by a pompous and self important "author" who try's to impress with big words and twisted syntax. I gave it to Bob to read .... or try to. He is a bit gentler in his thinking, but still could not get through it. Dang thing is only 22 pages long. I put in the Forward (of course, written by the author) for you to make up your own mind.
I sure do love the illustrations. A vignette on the lower right of each set of pages. Other full page pictures I believe Mrs. Bugbee did. Beautiful art/. Worst part is that the only other copies I could find started at over $200.
Printed by Clarendon Press, 1965. Supposedly limited to 650 unnumbered copies (as per another bookseller).
