MANUSCRIPT MATERIAL AND ART FOR AIGA BEST BOOK 346. McPHAIL,DAVID. CAPTAIN TOAD AND THE MOTORBIKE. This is a collection of pre-publication material for McPhail’s wonderful picture book published in 1978 by Atheneum. Taken together, they are a fascinating look at how a book becomes published from concept to realization. The story tells of Captain Toad, a retired Navy hero, who inadvertently saves his little village from the noisy motorbikes. The characters are all marvelously detailed humanized animals depicted in full color. Included are:

1. Early text of the story in typed pages with many handwritten changes, plus one page entirely in McPhail’s hand.

2. A wonderful double-page detailed drawing used on p. 16-17 of the book. The mole is asleep by the fireplace and Captain Toad is sneaking out through the window. All of the original artwork for this book was in black and white with color added in the printing.

3. 5 finished pen and ink studies of Captain Toad by McPhail.

4. Artist’s dummy for Captain Toad done after the finished art was completed, used as a guide for the art director and printer. Each of the pages is sketched in showing the layout of the artwork.

This book, Captain Toad and the Motorbike was likewise included in AIGA’s 1979 show of 50 Best Books. McPhail belongs to the new breed of children’s book illustrators, along with James Marshall, Trina Schart Hyman and others - who bring a fresh originality to children’s literature. McPhail’s style ranges broadly from intricate detail reminiscent of Sendak’s and E.H. Shepard’s line illustrations to the broad strokes of William Steig.

RARE MINIATURE BOOK HOUSE WITH BOOK #355 353. MILLER,OLIVE BEAUPRE. MY BOOKHOUSE - MINIATURE HOUSE WITH BOOK. Offered here is a rare miniature version of the wooden Book House that was offered to owners of the 9 volume Book House set in the 1920’s. The Book House for children was the brainchild of Olive Beaupre Miller who began her venture in 1920 by selling subscriptions to a six volume set, sold door to door by the Bookhouse Ladies one volume at a time. By the end of 1921, the 6th volume was completed and the set was offered in a cardboard house. The 3 other volumes of My Travelship were added in 1926 and a red and grey wooden book house was offered as an incentive to complete the set. “The utilization of women in all phases of its business activity was one of the unique aspects of the Book House For Children. Not only was there an all woman sales force but the majority of the employees were women (Taylor: Olive Beaupre Miller p.30). The miniature house offered here is not mentioned in the bibliography. It is an all metal version of the wooden house, measuring 3 1/4” wide x 5” high and 2 1/2” deep. The bottom has the Bookhouse information stamped in black. Included is a miniature book measuring 2 1/8 x 2 1/2” entitled The Little Brown Duck Shingebiss, a Chippewa Indian tale from Volume 1 of the Book House. It is bound in flexible leatherette.
