Description: George – don’t do that...Six nursery school sketches and "Writer of children's books" by Joyce Grenfell (Signed) - First Edition 1977 - Hardcover & Dust Jacket Signed and inscribed on the half title page " Darling Henrietta with love at Christmas...Joyce 1977" all written in Joyce Grenfell's hand. See picture. The first volume of Joyce Grenfell's nursery school sketches is illustrated throughout with pictures that capture the mingled innocence and ferocity of children. In the middle of the 20th century Joyce Grenfell was the undisputed queen of British comedy, performing with a singular wit and a keen understanding of what to say at just the right time for the most humor mixed with tremendous intelligence at the same time. The stories in this book come from her persona as a nursery school teacher trying to maintain some semblance of her exuberant young charges. All the stories are told strictly from the teacher's point of view and we know only what she says, but it's easy to imagine exactly what she's referring to in every sentence. Dust jacket with some wear on corners. Book in great condition. Pages clean and crisp. Discoloration due to age. Corner of dust jacket clipped (front bottom corner). See pictures.
