CALDECOTT AWARD WINNING BOOK
Goble, Paul (1933-2017) THE GIRL WHO LOVED WILD HORSES.
$600.00Scarsdale NY: Bradbury Press, (1978) First printing in first issue dust jacket. A beautiful and unique copy of this Caldecott winning book by this author and artist, who was known for his children’s books which chronicled the stories of Great Plains groups, including the Lakota, Cheyenne, Blackfoot and Crow peoples. Although born and raised in England, Goble commented that “From early childhood, I always wanted to know more, and to see the country and wildlife with which the lives and beliefs of Native Americans were so closely interwoven.” After several summers spent in the US, in 1977 Goble came to live in the Black Hills of South Dakota and spent the rest of his life there. Shortly after moving to the United States, this book won the Caldecott Medal in 1979 as the year’s best-illustrated book for children. In 1991, the American Indian LIbrary Association recommended all of his books, commenting that he “flawlessly captures the flavor of Indian humor and the easy blend of cultures so common in contemporary Indian America, and so lacking in the works of other authors.” This copy is INSCRIBED on the dedication page by one of the two dedicatees – “for Bonnie, who loves horses.” (The other dedicatee was Janet, who later became his wife – and Bonnie’s name was removed from later printings of this title) Very near fine in tan cloth with a small line drawing on the front cover in a dust jacket with just very minor edgewear, no award sticker.
