Hardcover First Printing in dust jacket without the foil award sticker. The author's first picture book, a very good copy with a complete row of numbers to 1 on the copyright page, and original price of $8.95 on the front flap of the jacket. No marks or writing in book. The dust jacket has a little wear along edges, a little rubbing at stress points, but no tears or chips. NOT an ex-Library copy.
From Publisher:
From the astonishing imagination of Chris Van Allsburg (Jumanji, The Polar Express)
A Caldecott Honor Book
Sometimes that very thin line between illusion and reality is not as clearly defined as we would like it to be. It certainly wasn't the day that Alan Mitz stumbled into the garden of Abdul Gasazi. For in this bizarre and eerie place--where strange topiary trees loomed--the eerie visage of Gasazi casts its shadow. And even after Alan escapes, the spell of Gasazi still seems to penetrate into his everyday world.
The very first picture book from the astonishing imagination of legendary Chris Van Allsburg explores both the real and surreal worlds with incredible deftness in this unusual tale. In doing so, he has created exquisite and beautiful images that will linger in the minds of readers long after they have left the enchanted garden of Abdul Gasazi.
