First editions, each inscribed by the author "with love" to Briggs. Also included is an autographed letter signed, in which Ives sends Rabbit Pie, noting "I am glad to be able to give you something I'm not ashamed of!", and a greetings card sharing updates from her life. Ives studied at the Brighton School of Art, where Briggs was her tutor. The posthumous book label of Briggs (1934-2022), illustrator, graphic novelist, cartoonist, and author, is on the front pastedown of each book, and his black and gold address label is in The Night Before Christmas. The winner of numerous awards, including the Kate Greenaway Medal (twice), the Hans Christian Andersen Award, the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award, and the Kurt Maschler Award, Briggs noted that "the whole point of illustration is that it is literary. If it is not, it remains a drawing only. Something must be 'going on' in the illustration" (Horne, p. 124). He is chiefly remembered for Father Christmas (1973), Fungus the Bogeyman (1978), When the Wind Blows (1982), and the perennial classic The Snowman (1978). Together 5 works, all in original bindings. Colour illustrations throughout by Penny Ives. Celestine books with dust jackets. A few trifling marks to contents, else bright, water damage to greetings card; jackets unclipped, spines faded, small splash marks, short closed tear to Drama Queen: a near-fine set in very good jackets.
