I wish I had the pleasure to know the Mary Helen King who created it--how not to like a girl who took it upon herself to create a \"Hard Word Dictionary\"? And the fact that she was not a terribly accomplished draw-er did not slow her down, except when it came to \"Monkey,\" where, in lieu of an illustration, she declared honestly, \"I can't draw a monkey.\" Just the best, and a really excellent selection of words, which together definitely create a resonant sort of found poetry. Pure joy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e7 1\/8\" x 4 7\/8\". 40 pages of words\/drawings, front sides of pages only. Another 40 or so blank pages following. All in very good condition. I've shown a few favorites first, then documented most every page. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"critical EYE Finds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47756625182974,"sku":null,"price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0015\/5022\/1382\/files\/IMG_3462.heic?v=1769912324","url":"https:\/\/www.criticaleyefinds.com\/products\/mary-helen-kings-wonderful-hard-word-dictionary-with-hand-written-definitions-and-drawings-1940","provider":"critical EYE Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
