Tom Nye - De Brug naar Elfenland

Manuscript children's picture book. 21 pp. With title plate and 10 watercolour prints with accompanying text plates. Size 33 x 25 cm.

Found during the cleaning of a printer's attic. It had probably ended up there as a manuscript in the late '30s or the war years. Due to the huge number of unpublished books, paper scarcity and the financial problems troubling many publishing houses during the first years after the war, many manuscripts were no longer considered for publication.
