Small quarto. 47pp. Jonathan and the Rainbow is illustrated in vibrant color by Slobodkin. Its story is the greatest since Alice in Wonderland, or so Blanck jocularly claims in his inscription. Bound in pictorial boards, moderately rubbed else very good in good dust wrapper, chipped overall and with significant loss from spine. Together with a copy of The King and the Noble Blacksmith. Small quarto. 48pp. Likewise inscribed, and with a note from Blanck pointing out, and apologizing for, an error on page 30. Bound in yellow cloth over boards with cover illustration in black. Mild rubs, some foxing to top edge of text block, else very good in good dust wrapper, this one better preserved than the other but nevertheless chipped. The only two children's book published by Blanck, who is chiefly remembered as a bibliographer of American first editions.
