Original Description:

vintage 1972, First edition, first printing of the paperback edition of The Dragon Takes A Wife by Walter Dean Myers.  The first picture book by Walter Dean Myers, who later becomes a Newbery Honor author and Coretta Scott King winner. The book was reissued in 1995 with a new illustrator .This book has the original illustrations from Ann Grifalconi.  This is a very hard to find edition of this story. This is an early children's book with an African American prot...agonist - The Good fairy is an African American character and speaks the groovy mod lingo of the early 1970s -  a Multi Cultural Fairy tale - I have scanned the original copyright information for your review.  This is the paper edition published by Xerox.  I believe the number line indicates a first printing of the paperback, but I am not absolutely certain, so I will leave that to you. Size:  approx 9 3/8ths by 7 inches;  the book is not paginated, but I counted approx 31 pages. This original paperback does not have an ISBN number.  However, the reissued title has ISBN-10: 0590466933Condition:  good vintage - the only marking in the book is the name of the previous child owner with also a few child marks on the blank interior of the cover. There is also a chip or nick at the base of the spine and some light age wear to the covers.  Interior pages still clean, unmarked and brightly illustrated. This is not an ex-libary book
