"I meant what I said and I said what I meant. . . . An elephant's faithful one hundred per cent!" Horton is kind and trustworthy but unfortunately the lazy bird Mayzie takes advantage of his good nature when she leaves Horton to watch her unhatched egg. Told with Dr. Seuss's signature rhymes and trademark illustrations this is a tale that will be enjoyed over and over by reader and listener alike. And don't miss another delightful tale about this beloved pachyderm: Horton Hears a Who!. About the author 1968 Dr. Seuss was born Theodor Geisel in Springfield Massachusetts on March 2 1904. After attending Dartmouth College and Oxford University he began a career in advertising. His advertising cartoons featuring Quick Henry the Flit! appeared in several leading American magazines. Dr. Seuss's first children's book And To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street hit the market in 1937 and the world of children's literature was changed forever! In 1957 Seuss's The Cat in the Hat became the prototype for one of Random House's best- selling series Beginner Books. This popular series combined engaging stories with outrageous illustrations and playful sounds to teach basic reading skills. Brilliant playful and always respectful of children Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process he helped kids learn to read. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1984 and three Academy Awards Seuss was the author and illustrator of 44 children's books some of which have been made into audiocassettes animated television specials and videos for children of all ages. Even after his death in 1991 Dr. Seuss continues to be the best-selling author of children's books in the world. Bibliographic .

‎BIRCHERODIUS, Janus / HERTZHOLM, Ivar‎

‎Breviarium Equestre, seu De Illustrissimo & Inclytissimo Equestri Ordine Elephantino‎

‎In -folio, pp. (6), 104, (1), XIV tavole a piena pagina, una ripiegata; illustrazioni nel testo. Cartonato posteriore, copia a pieni margini, qualche strappetto restaurato e lievi macchie di umidità. Ex libris manoscritto Biblioteca Pinelli, 1789, al margine superiore del frontespizio; altre note di possesso successive riportate sul foglio di guardia. Alcune delle tavole sono state rilegate in disordine ma il libro è completo anche del foglio di errata alla fine (in alcuni esemplari l’errata precede p. 3). L’ordine dell’Elefante è il più alto ordine cavalleresco danese, conferito per tradizione solo ai capi di stato, con rare eccezioni fra cui l’astronomo Tycho Brahe, lo scienziato Niels Bohr e il Generale Montgomery successivamente alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il libro è un trentennale lavoro di raccolta di materiali sulla storia dell’ordine e sulla sua iconografia, ricerca estesa all’iconografia dell’elefante in generale (si veda la tav. I che riproduce insegne, monete, sculture raffiguranti l’elefante o afferenti a esso - c’è anche la scultura sottostante al noto obelisco del Bernini), materia della quale questo libro costituisce un esempio a suo modo unico e irripetibile. Some of the plates have been misplaced in bound but the book is complete also of the errata leaf at the end. The Elephant one is the highest herald order in Denmark, given only to heads of State, with rare exceptions (as, for instance, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe). The book comes from a 30 years research and collection of stuff about the history of this order and its iconography. In a wider sense the book can be considered an original research on elephant iconography, a matter of which this book is a unique example.‎

‎Rosy is My Relative‎

‎At the age of thirty, Adrian Rookwhistle's life hasn't quite turned out the way he'd have hoped. Working an unfulfilling job as a clerk in the city and living under the tyranny of his fearsome landlady, he can't help but think that there is more to life. However, all of this suddenly changes when he receives a curious letter from his dying uncle who has bequeathed him 500 pounds and an elephant by the name of Rosy who has a seemingly unquenchable thirst for liquor. At a loss of what to do with his unexpectedly gargantuan - and rarely sober - inheritance, Adrian sets forth on a journey believing to have the answer to his dilemma; he'll give her away to the circus. Together Adrian and Rosy carve a trail of destruction through the peaceful countryside of southern England, meeting a curious cast of misfits along the way. Drunk or sober, Rosy spreads chaos in her wake, until the full weight of the law finally catches up with her. 222p. Crisp tight copy, but paper age-toned Book‎
