Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Printed in Japan on high-quality coated paper (thick card paper) with superb colour reproduction Endpapers: lime-green with white geometric shapes and dots (very distinctive 1960s design) Binding: red pictorial boards; title and author in yellow on front cover and spine About the Au…thor & Illustrators Leonard Clark (1905-1981) was a distinguished English poet, educator, anthologist, and literary editor. Raised in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, he wrote many beloved children's poetry books, edited major poetry series (including Longman's Poetry Library), and was awarded an OBE for services to literature and education. A close friend of Sir John Betjeman, Clark specialised in gentle, nature-inspired verse for young readers. The illustrators were a talented team of Japanese artists specially commissioned by Shufunotomo Co. Ltd. (Tokyo) for this international edition. Working in the vibrant mid-century watercolour and mixed-media style typical of 1960s Japanese children's publishing, they created the book's distinctive, colourful artwork — each poem illustrated by a different artist for wonderful visual variety. Illustrators (full credit page present): Nine leading Japanese artists (pictures © 1967 Shufunotomo Co. Ltd., Tokyo): Kozo Kakimoto, Konosuke Iwamoto, Jiro Mizuno, Mioko Suzuki, Takushi Kitada, Takeo Ishida, Teruyo Endo, Kuniro Fukazawa, Rokuro Komamiya Condition Boards & Spine: Bright, only slightly faded red pictorial boards with only the very lightest shelf-rubbing at the extreme tips of the corners and a faint touch of rubbing at the spine ends. No bumps, no tears, no scuffs, no fading. Gold lettering on front cover and spine remains sharp and bright. Binding: Tight and square; no cracking, no loose pages. Pages & Illustrations: All 41 pages are clean, bright and unmarked. No foxing, no spotting, no browning, no creases. Every colour illustration is vivid with no fading or offset. Endpapers & Prelims: Clean lime-green endpapers with the original white geometric design; no ownership inscriptions, no bookplates, no stamps, no price-clipping or residue. Overall: A superior, well-cared-for example that looks almost as fresh as the day it was printed in Japan. Only the most minor signs of 56-year age (natural slight toning to the very edges of the endpapers). Far above average for this title. A scarce and exceptionally charming 1968 first-edition collection of original children's poems by the acclaimed British poet Leonard Clark. This delightful Hamlyn volume pairs 25 gentle, imaginative poems with vibrant, full-page and double-page colour illustrations created by nine different leading Japanese artists. The result is a unique mid-century fusion of British children's poetry and superb Japanese illustration, printed in Japan with outstanding colour fidelity that still looks fresh today. Poems include everyday childhood wonders ("Snail", "Fish in Pool", "Cleaning Shoes"), playful imaginings ("On the War Path", "Underground", "Very Strange"), nature observations ("In Springtime", "Weather Signs", "Bear and Butterfly"), family life ("Family Album", "Twins"), and reflective pieces ("History", "Last Journey", "Stories"). Each poem is individually illustrated by a different Japanese artist, giving the book a wonderfully varied yet cohesive visual style. This is the true first printing (© 1967 pictures / © 1968 poems) with the full illustrator credit page, lime-green geometric endpapers, and the distinctive red pictorial boards. An uncommon title that rarely appears in this condition. Collectibility & Notes: Highly sought-after by collectors of 1960s illustrated children's poetry, Hamlyn publications, and mid-century Japanese illustration. Perfect for lovers of vintage picture-poetry books, or as a special gift for a child or poetry enthusiast. No other edition matches the 1968 Japanese-printed version with these exact artists and production quality. Kozo Kakimoto, Konosuke Iwamoto, Jiro Mizuno, Mioko Suzuki, Takushi Kitada, Takeo Ishida, Teruyo Endo, Kuniro Fukazawa, Rokuro Komamiya (illustratore).
