Library of Congress(
Book
)
2 editions published in 1972 in English and held by 96 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"An exhibition honoring UNESCO's designation of 1972 as International Book Year. Items accommodated in the display represent 38 countries but only a tiny token of the Library's rapidly growing collection of foreign children's books from its worldwide acquisition program. Books are shown in their original languages, with three exceptions explained by their notes. Contemporary writing and illustration are highlighted, but included are some recent editions of folklore and literary classics notable for continuing importance and their new illustration by contemporary artists. Attractiveness for display has played a significant part in selection, accounting for the prominance of picture books, while intrinsic excellence and relative importance of a book within its national body of literature have also been factors in choice"--
