Navy cloth boards with gilt lettering; light blue dj, color illustrated; xiv, 318 pp; illustrated in bw and color. "The child as the audience for books in the English language is the subject of this bibliographical study, which had its origins in an exhibition held at the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York. From this beginning, Felix de Marez Oyens and Brian Alderson have compiled Be Merry and Wise and shown how certain creative talents, driven by a sense of purpose, or a wish to make some money, attempted to appeal directly to children, and how the publishing industry came to realise that this audience might prove to constitute a profitable market."--Jacket.

Edward Ardizzone. A Bibliographic Commentary.

Oak Knoll Press - The British Library - Private Libraries Assoitiation 2003, 309pp. Illustrated. Cloth, with dust jacket. In very good condition. Pakketzending. Edward Ardizzone was one of the best-loved artists (and authors) in the English-speaking world. He illustrated more than 200 books and pamphlets, a good number of which he also wrote, as well as designing dust jackets and ephemera for a range of patrons. Brian Alderson first published a checklist of Ardizzone's work in The Private Library in 1972. Since then, with the co-operation of the artist and his family, he has expanded this work, describing in a full-scale bibliography of Ardizzone's books, dust jackets, ephemera, periodical contributions, war art, prints, posters and bookplates. There are several appendices, including an essay On the Illustration of Books by Ardizzone himself.
