Description: EAST OF THE SUN & WEST OF THE MOON Author: Nancy Willard Illustrator: Barry Moser SIGNED BY ILLUSTRATOR, BARRY MOSER, ON THE TITLE PAGE WITH AN INSCRIPTION "for Joan" Please note - Barry Moser only ever signs books with his initials, not with his name written out Signed in a lovely, flowing script in blue ink on the title page Willard has chosen to present this classic Scandinavian folktale as a dramatic play. The cast of characters includes a hideous Troll Queen, her ghastly daughter, a prince caught in a spell and the plucky maiden who comes to rescue him. The four winds also feature in the scheming plot and I particularly like the way Moser depicts them. (Two of them shown in photos.) Moser's watercolors really enhance the text. I bought this book new and it is in very good condition. I take great care of my books in my smoke-free environment.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and not on distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference. Thanks for looking!
