BONTEMPS, ARNA AND JACK CONROY (URSULA KOERING, ILLUS.)

SLAPPY HOOPER THE WONDERFUL SIGN PAINTER

Boston, Houghton and Mifflin 1946, First Edition, Hardcover. Good with no dust jacket.
¶ Blue cloth over boards; lettering and illustration in black on front board; full-color illustrated endpapers; double title page illustrated in full color; illustrated throughout in full color; 44 pp.; 9 in. x 8 3/4 in. Wear to spine ends and corners; cloth worn through to boards at spine foot and bottom corners; front and rear hinges starting, with some play in spine; very occasional light soil along bottom page margins from the turning of pages; all pages secure, no tears, no prior owner marks; a very bright, attractive copy, even with noted flaws. The American folk legend of Slappy Hooper was collected in Chicago in 1939 by Jack Conroy for the federal Writer's Pproject of the Work Progress Administrstion. It was published first in B. A. Botkin's A Treasury of American Folklore in 1944. In the Foreword to Botkin's book, Carl Sandburg called the legend a "fresh modern masterpiece that will not fail to be passed along from generation to generation." Bontemp and Conroy, who collaborated on several other children's books, were known as writers and promoters of "proletarian fiction." Bontemp, a poet, novelist, essayist and noted member of the Harlem Renaissance, was a very close friend of Langston Hughes, with whom he also collaborated. He became a leading figure in the establishment of African-American literature as an area for study, preservation and collection. Conroy was a leading force in the proletarian literary movement of the 1930's. He founded a literary magazine, Rebel Poets, for which he wrote, and he captured the attention of H. L. Mencken. Conroy also founded and edited The Anvil, the most successful proletarian literary magazine of the time, and published and promoted the work of Richard Wright, Erskine Caldwell, Nelson Algren and Langston Hughes. Slappy Hooper was typical of other American tall tale heroes in that he was larger than life, the fastest and best sign painter ever, who travelled around the country. The important message of this version of Slappy Hooper, however, is that Slappy was a real artist and a working man. He created his masterpieces himself, without fancy stencils and tools. He use ordinary paint brushes and paint, and made his work come alive to the ordinary people who appreciated his work. Like other true artists, he was only happy when he was making his art, painting signs. As Slappy said, a man was only happy when he was working his trade. In 1993, another version of the Slappy Hooper legend, by Aaron Shepard, was published. It is the Bontemps and Conroy version, with marvelous illustrations by Ursula Koering, however, that is a true American clalssic.
