1967ref. 2006275New York: Random House 1967. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Barbara Cooney. Lightest wear to the book; more to the priced protected jacket which show some shelf wear at the spine tips and along the top edge front and back with a few very short closed tears. Clean and unmarked. Based on stories told to their niece by Aldous Huxley and his first wife Maria Nys. First published in 1967 by Random House reviews were mixed. "For Christmas 1944 the author of Brave New World wrote this story of a crow couple's battle with an egg-eating snake giving it to his six-year-old niece.With Huxley's mordant wit in ample supply this tale will entertain literary novelty seekers; it's best suited for children who don't mind some darkness in their stories." Publishers Weekly. "The special talents of Aldous Huxley are absent the special talent of Barbara Cooney wasted in this small story of a crow couple who protect their unborn progeny by tricking a marauding snake with clay eggs; in his discomfiture he ties himself up in knots and ends his days as a clothes-line for the growing crow family. If the plot is inconsequential the details are ridiculous especially the self-winding snake and the would be mother who lays an egg regularly every day. This started as an entertainment for a favorite niece and it still sounds homemade." Kirkus Reviews.
