JOE CARPENTER & SON: AN ENGLISH NATIVITY
Illustrated by Graham Clarke
Published by Phaidon. 1st. 1990
Slightly better than very good condition in a very good dustwrapper. A wonderfully humorous and moving version of the Nativity Story, packed with Christmas delight. The events of Jesus' birth unfold in vivid verse and pictures, which recount the familiar story through the experiences of the inhabitants of an English village in the mists of Graham Clarke's 'anachronological' time scale. Can be performed as a play, read aloud or simply enjoyed as a picture book fror its own sake. Oblong format. Purple cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Colour & b/w illustrations, some fold out pages.
Top edge of text block slightly dusty. A few minor knocks to board edges. Pictorial dustwrapper is unevenly faded and a little scuffed & grubby.
