Description: BENTLY & EGG Illustrated and written by William Joyce (New York): A Laura Geringer Book, (1992). First edition, first printing. Signed and inscribed to the front endpaper: "Hi Cody" by the author/artist with an original sketch of a cute egg baring a zig-zag hairline crack, and adorable duck feet. Fine in beige linen over key-lime boards with gilt embossed illustration of a traveling egg to the front cover and gilt titles to the spine; in a fine dust jacket. Joyce, the Academy Award-winning illustrator/author/animator/screenwriter did 15 well-acclaimed films, many depicting enchanting and humanized animals and bugs, such as are used in this delightful story. Joyce's evocative illustrations in soft water-colored hues, heighten the charm in this endearing tale of shy, bespectacled, singing frog, whose life changes when he takes responsibility for the care of a duck egg. An early picture book in Joyce's career that exemplifies his varied mix of time-period styles in children's illustration. An eye-catching color illustration faces every page of text.
