TURNABOUT, Adapted/Illustrated by Raphael & Bolognese, 1ST ED HCDJ Viking 1980

Description: All age levels encouraged! An incredibly charming book with BRILLIANT illustrations -- if you collect literature (children's particularly) based on the quality of illustrations, this one is a must based on that alone. The book is based on 'There was a young man who lived in the woods, As you will plainly see, Who said he could do more work in a day Than his wife could do in three.' -- etc. Thus begins the story of the exchange of the 'farmer' and his 'wife' --- as with high spirits the young man and his wife accept the turnabout challenge. Yet the outcome is not as obvious as they expect. In this rollicking adaptation of a traditional folk son, strikingly illustrated with bold linoleum cuts, Elaine Raphael and Don Bolognese have given the universal problem of competition between the sexes a loving solution. There's even sheet music at the end with all the verses of the poem, so singing it is a possibility --- A Charming collectible --- could save a marriage --- could capture the hearts and give wisdom to children who might realize the grass is not always greener on the other side...... I love this book --- Superb condition --- has been used as a collectible more so than by using --- so is in very fine condition. Block Printing technique for the story was chosen by Raphael & Bolognese
