The Music Box Book

New York: E. P. Dutton & Co., Inc, 1946. First edition. Hardcover. Roberta Paflin. 79pp. Slim quarto [25.5 cm] Illustrated paper covered boards. Blue and white endpapers with musical note designs. Very good. The covers are just a little bit age-toned and warped, and the top fore edge corners of the covers are gently bumped. The pages are tanned. The matching pictorial dust jacket is in very good condition, with subtle rubbing and browning, and minor traces of soiling. The edges are lightly chipped. The largest chip is at the head of the jacket's spine. The chip measures roughly 1/4 of an inch wide by 1/4 of an inch deep. There is a small, light moisture stain on the bottom edge. Illustrated in color and black and white by Roberta Paflin. Some of the most colorful and endearing stories in musical literature, including Nutcracker Suite, A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks.
