The All Jahdu Storybook - Virginia Hamilton, First Edition, Illustrated by Barry Moser
A first edition of The All Jahdu Storybook by Newbery Medalist Virginia Hamilton, gathering the adventures of her beloved trickster hero Jahdu into one handsome volume. Hamilton first introduced the character in The Time-Ago Tales of Jahdu, and these stories blend African American folklore, myth, and modern city life into something wholly original.
The book is illustrated throughout in full color by acclaimed artist Barry Moser, with many full-page images, a Moser-illustrated dust jacket, and brown endpapers. It measures 10" x 7.75" and runs 108, [2] pages.
Condition is excellent, one owner. This copy comes from a three-generation family library where most books were collected rather than read; many volumes carry a small name sticker on an inside page. Every book is re-screened before shipping. No duplicates available, and we gladly combine shipping.
