Description:

Published by The Viking Press Publishers, 1936. First Edition, second printing No dust jacket. The book is bound in the ORIGINAL cloth from the publisher. The first collaboration of Lawson and Leaf, FERDINAND was a hit with children but caused controversy among adults: the story of the bull who would rather smell the flowers than fight with the other bulls was read politically in the context of the Spanish Civil War. Although he hadn't meant for the book to carry an ideological message, Leaf received angry letters claiming he was "deliberately corrupting children of an impressionable age" (quoted in Davis). Illustrated throughout with black-and-white line drawings by Lawson. [72] pages.
