Description: STORY NUMBER 3By Eugene Ionesco, illustrated by Philippe Corentin1971First US edition of the continuation of little Josette's adventures as her Papa makes up increasingly outlandish stories, written by celebrated European avant-garde playwright Eugene Ionesco.Fine in near fine jacket. Publisher Harlin Quist had an eye for the unusual, and an affinity for the avant-garde. Before his series of picture books began in 1967, "few books published for children had collectively raised such consistent debate and discussion, applause and criticism" (Paley, 111). He worked with a variety of artists to create a spectrum of attractive illustrated titles, from the delightfully spooky penwork of Gorey to vibrant and rather psychedelic watercolors of Etienne Delessert and everything in between.Read more: Nicholas Paley, "Why the Books of Harlin Quist Disappeared - or Did They?," Children's Literature Association Quarterly, vol. 14 no. 3.
