Description: Brother Eagle, Sister Sky, by Chief Seattle (1790-1866), adapted/illustrated by Susan Jeffers (1942-2020), and Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell (1820-1878), adapted by Robin McKinley, illustrated by Susan Jeffers, vintage oversized hardcover childrens books, both with dust jackets, both SIGNED and inscribed to the previous owner by Illustrator Susan Jeffers, acclaimed New York Times bestselling childrens book illustrator and artist, and Caldecott honor winner. Brother Eagle, Sister Sky: 1991 1st Edition, 1st printing (stated on the copyright page with full 1-10 number sequence present), Dial Books, New York. Measures approximately 12 1/4" by 9 3/4" by 1/2" thick. Rich and plentiful color illustrations. The text was adapted from a treaty negotiation speech by Chief Seattle, which served as the basis of ecological movements around the world.Black Beauty: 1986 2nd printing, Random House, Inc., New York, printed in the United States. Measures approximately 12 1/2" by 9 1/8" by 1/2' thick. Rich and plentiful color illustrations, 72 pages. I consider both books to be in good to very good overall vintage/pre-owned condition with the following noted flaws: Both dust jackets show wear along the edges and at the corners including creasing, mild rubbing, chipping and small tears. "Brother Eagle" has a very small and minor puncture/indentation at the bottom corner of the rear board; minor scuffing to the green boards and blue cloth reinforcement. The spine creaks upon opening but appears to be secure and fully intact. The glossy illustrated (same as dust jacket) cover boards of "Black Beauty" appear to be in excellent condition. The pages of both books appear to be clean and free from damage. The dust jackets have been fitted with new clear mylar dust jacket protectors which are not permanently affixed and can be easily removed if desired. Please take a moment to view all of the photographs provided for additional representation of condition, as well as specific and unique book characteristics. Thank you for looking!
