Author: Anonymous [Hryshko, Vasyl] Title: Kazki Pro Tsyhaniv (Tales of the Gypsies)
Description: Scranton, PA: Ukrainian Book Store, 1919. Softcover. First edition; 6 x 4 1/2; pp. [1], 4-30; light brown wraps, ruled with an intricate border; thin closed cut to tail of spine; mild age-toning to margins; very good condition. A mysterious little work, it was, presumably, written and published by Vasyl Hryshko, who was considered by some the first Ukrainian bookseller in the United States. Humorous and, at the same time, offensive and steeped in stereotypes, the book contained poems and stories about the gypsies and their lives, including chapters such as "A Gypsy Funeral" and "A Gypsy Bull." Not in OCLC or in the trade (as of July 2015). Ill.: 0. 2.
