New York: The Dial Press, 1977. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Quarto [26 cm] Orange cloth over boards. In a price-clipped dust jacket with light soiling and rubbing. Another collaboration from the creators of the 1976 Caldecott Medal Winner "Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears."

From the dust jacket-

"The illustrations show the story presented in the form of a play performed before their fellow villagers by Masai actors wearing animal masks. The costumes, terrain, and jewelry are typical of the Masai; the masks are an artistic invention. They change expressions as the play progresses, showing anger, fear, merriment in a way that could only happen in the realm of fantasy.
