A Novel

One of NPR's Best Books of the Year: This darkly funny and provocative novel reimagines classic fairy tale characters as modern women in a support group for trauma. In present-day New York City, five women meet in a basement support group to process their traumas. Bernice grapples with the fallout of dating a psychopathic, blue-bearded billionaire. Ruby, once devoured by a wolf, now wears him as a coat. Gretel questions her memory of being held captive in a house made of candy. Ashlee, the winner of a Bachelor-esque dating show, wonders if she really got her promised fairy tale ending. And Raina's love story will shock them all. Though the women start out wary of one another, judging each other's stories, gradually they begin to realize that they may have more in common than they supposed . . . What really brought them here? What secrets will they reveal? And is it too late for them to rescue each other? ​Dark, edgy, and wickedly funny, this debut for readers of Carmen Maria Machado, Kristen Arnett, and Kelly Link takes our coziest, most beloved childhood stories, exposes them as anti-feminist nightmares, and transforms them into a new kind of myth for grown-up women. *Belletrist June Book Club Pick* Named a Best Book of May by TIME Magazine & Glamour One of NPR's Best Books of the Year

The Mcelderry Book of Aesop's Fables

40bdcb95-d81f-4b3c-8e41-7c2e5679c2c4-0

 This book was apparently privately published in 1963 by Alexander and then taken over four years later by publisher Bobbs-Merrill. An unusual find and signed by the author! 

It contains eighteen stories in a variety of styles including them is the Aesopic, etiologies, and clever solutions. 

The excellent scissor-cuts were done by grade school children in Cheefu, China, about 1920.

The book is in good condition with  few exceptions: small separation at bottom cover, what appears to be a tape mark on front cover and heavy wear on corners. No dust jacket. Previous owner gift inscription in ink on title page. 

It’s a lovely and unusual book!
