Scarce first printing of this Dutch edition of PINOCCHIO, illustrated by one of the most significant children's book artists of the interwar years.

First printing of "one of the first children's books to feature South American folktales from indigenous peoples" (Library of Congress) — inscribed by multiple-Pulitzer-winner Carl Sandburg, to whom the book is dedicated.

Inscribed later printing with an original watercolor by Yashima, this illustrated collection of Korean folk tales "changed, elaborated, and combined" these stories for an American audience.

Inscribed second edition thus of this intricately illustrated Sendak publication.
