CHARUSHIN, Evgeny Ivanovich (1901-1965, illustrator), Vitaly Valentinovich BIANKI (1894-1959). Teremok. [Leningrad]: Gosudarstvennoe izdatelstvo, 1929. [With:] CHARUSHIN, Evgeny Ivanovich. Volchishko i drugie . Moscow, 1931. First editions, both rare on the market and the second exceptionally rare in institutions, of two acclaimed children’s books illustrated (and the second also written) by the artist Evgeny Ivanovich Charushin. Teremok, with a text by Vitaly Bianki, was Charushin’s earliest picture book or children. The lithographic illustrations keep to an essential yet warm palette of brown, orange, tan, black and grey, perfectly seconding the animal themes of Bianki’s imagination. Solicited by Marshak, the artist soon went on to produce Volchishko i drugie (The little wolf and other stories), his first collection of stories wholly devised by himself. His nature sketches, always close to the physical texture and colours of living beings, are complemented with lively, surprising plots and a clear writing style. Worldcat shows no record of the second work. Quarto (229 x 192 and 220 x 172mm). Original pictorial wrappers (very light soiling or dusting).
