.............................
----------( 1st printing of the First [ and ONLY hardcover ] Edition ) ---hardcover, a Near Fine/Fine example, looks new, ink name and date on half title page, no dustjacket as issued, housed in a lightly rubbed plain black slipcase, ---this is # 19 of 30 hardcover numbered copies issued by Gaspereau Press, this copy has been signed by the author and illustrator, the ink name is for someone born and raised in Wolfville NS, this book is a 1st printing in spite of the fact that the number line on the copyright page starts with a "2", there was no 2nd printing of this title in hardcover so checking with the Gaspereau Press publishers it seems the number 2 on the number line was (is) a publishing error, Gaspereau attributes the error to their being still new to publishing resulting in the incorrect number line ---NO MATTER the hardcover issue is really quite rare with many of the 30 copies going to institutions, ---There is only one tree left in the world. A wise old man named Zadok and a band of followers set out to find it, against great odds. Can its ?magic? save them? Or will an evil deceiver find and steal the tree for the price its seeds will bring? The Quest for the Magic Appletree is a work of magic realism that investigates many of our age?s important social and environmental concerns. Written as a chapter book with pre-teens in mind, The Quest is ideal for use in the classroom, as a bedtime ritual, or for self-directed reading
