The Beast of Monsieur Racine

Description Additional info Product reviews

New York: Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1971. 1st edition. No pagination. Hardcover with dustjacket. Book is NEAR FINE. Dustjacket is VERY GOOD.

 

A surprise ending that will make you giggle!  This gardening gent prides himself on his green thumb, especially the pears that fetch blue ribbons at the county fair.  When the pears begin disappearing, the Monsieur begins an investigation that leads to the great halls of forensic science, a perfect tribute to friendship and pranks that pay homage to the one and only, Maurice Sendak.  Vibrant, expressive illustrations stand up to the story!
