Inhaltsangabe

Edward lives on the twenty-first floor of a large apartment building in New York City. In the lobby a sign reads: “No dogs or cats allowed.” This isn’t much fun for someone like Edward, who would have loved a dog or cat to keep him company. But the sign doesn’t say anything about horses . . .Edward sets out in search of a horse who likes the city and who won’t cost a lot of money to keep. Along the way, he meets a friendly fireman who offers him a helping hand. Edward discovers Smitty, whom he unhitches from a vegetable cart and takes home immediately. Before Edward and Smitty can get anywhere near the freight elevator, they are stopped by Smitty’s owner . . . and his reaction surprises all of them!This charming journey benefits from bold mid-century illustrations and will appeal to both design-loving parents and pet-crazy children at story time.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Ann Rand (1918-2012) was an American architect and author. She trained as an architect with Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and wrote several children's books that were illustrated by her husband, the famous art director and graphic designer Paul Rand. These include Sparkle and Spin, I Know a Lot of Things, Little 1, and Listen! Listen!

Olle Eksell (1918-2007) was a Swedish illustrator and graphic designer. He and his wife, Ruthel, a fashion designer, lived in the United States after the Second World War and became close friends with Paul Rand and, later, Ann Rand.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

First published in 1961, this charming story tells the story of a small boy named Edward who lives in the tall city of New York .

Edward lives on the twenty-first floor of a large apartment block and would love a pet to keep him company. But the sign in the lobby is clear: 'No dogs or cats allowed'. However, it doesn't say anything about horses...

With its bold mid-century design aesthetic and meandering text, Edward and the Horse will charm a new generation of readers and designers alike. Olle Eksell's illustrations are printed here in bright spot colours to replicate the original 1961 edition as faithfully as possible. An afterword by Ruthel Eksell sheds light on the book's genesis.
