The Hooligan Nights
Clarence Rook, 1899

He also wrote and illustrated The Pirate Twins (1929), the book credited by Maurice Sendak as inspiring Where the Wild Things Are. From the library of English author and poet Richard Le Gallienne, with his bookplate alongside Sendak's.
Octavo. Frontispiece portrait by William Nicholson, 12 pp. publisher's catalogue inserted at rear. Original buckram stamped in black and red (a little minor soiling and wear at extremities). Provenance: Richard Le Gallienne (1866-1947; bookplate).
