The Quest of the Gole

An imaginary tale in the style of ancient legends, this is the first fictional work by American poet, literary critic, & professor John Hollander (1929-2013), illustrated with marvelously mythical pen-and-ink drawings by artist Reginald Pollack (1994-2001) throughout the 166 pages. A FIRST EDITION, First Printing, from Atheneum, 1966, it is SIGNED with a personalized inscription & full-page sketch to half-title page by the illustrator. While copies signed by the author are not uncommon, ones signed by the illustrator are quite scarce.

Condition downgraded due to rubbing with slight color loss & teeny holes to upper & lower extremities.
