Madeline’s Rescue.
BEMELMANS, Ludwig.
Item Number: 146919
New York: The Viking Press, 1955.
Early printing of the second book in the Madeline series, which went on to win the Caldecott Medal in 1954. Thin quarto, original cloth, pictorial endpapers, illustrated throughout. Presentation copy, boldly inscribed by the author on the half-title page, “To Linda with love Ludwig Bemelmans Christmas 1955.” Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Very light rubbing to the crown and foot of the spine. Some rubbing and a few small losses and closed tears to the extremities of the dust jacket. An exceptional example.
It took Ludwig Bemelmans years to think of Madeline's next adventure after the 1939 original Madeline, but he did it, and the result was Madeline's Rescue, winner of the 1954 Caldecott Medal.
