This book is first state, matte hardcover, in price-clipped original dust jacket. -- About the story: The Giving Tree is an American children's picture book written and illustrated by Shel Silverstein. First published in 1964 by Harper & Row, it has become one of Silverstein's best-known titles, and has been translated into numerous languages. This book has been described as "one of the most divisive books in children's literature"; the controversy stems from whether the relationship between the main characters (a boy and the eponymous tree) should be interpreted as positive (i.e., the tree gives the boy selfless love) or negative (i.e., the boy and the tree have an abusive relationship). -- Defects: General wear from age, overall minimal wear, slight scuff mark on upper right corner of the book cover (under dj). The dust cover is price clipped. Please see photos. ** This book is offered at other sites we sell on, subject to availability.
