SANCHEZ-SILVA, Marcelino (A Story from Parents to Children). Trans. from the Spanish by Angela Britton. Illustrated by Goni. London: St. Paul Publications. 1955. 8vo. Second impression of the English edition. Publisher’s cream cloth lettered and decorated in green to spine and front board, in the sumptuous dust jacket designed by Goni, who illustrates the volume in colour. A very good or better copy, the boards clean and bright, the binding tight and square, with some very mild spots to textblock edges. The contents fine but for a little offsetting to endpapers and prelims. The dust jacket unclipped (8s 6d net), with a few mild instances of rubbing and tiny closed tears only.
A charming volume, a sensational best-seller when first published in Spain in 1953, about ‘a young boy, abandoned at birth, who is adopted and reared by Franciscan monks in a small Friary’, who discovers in the attic the very-much-alive Jesus Christ nailed to the cross.
