Lettres des îles Baladar

First edition, with no deluxe copies issued, of this children’s book designed in the form of a tourist postcard from the Baladar Islands to be sent to friends.

Publisher’s pictorial boards.<br>Illustrated with drawings by André François.

Inevitable rubbing to the spine, owing to Jacques Prévert’s practice of sending inscribed copies of this work through the post; a small dampstain to the right-hand margin of a few leaves.

Signed and dated presentation inscription in felt-tip pen by Jacques Prévert: "Vive l'amitié Jacques Prévert Paris de printemps 1958" enhanced with an original drawing in green, yellow and red coloured pencil depicting a flower accompanied by a small sun.
