Description: The Magic Cricket Book, pictures by Erika. Story by Harpor. Designed by Plowitz. Published by Capitol Publishing Company. Copyright 1948, probable 1st (and only) printing. This is absolutely remarkable! This is a shaped book, bound with a red plastic comb. Comb is intact. The illustrated card covers are shaped like a castle. There are two windows - one open and the other covered in a heavy clear plastic. Behind this is a yellow, metal, cricket clicker. The plastic "window" is whole, and pliable enough to press to click the clicker. The clicker still clicks, and loudly. The corners are bumped and the upper are creased. The only major flaw to the entire book is that the tower has been creased, front and rear. The front crease has old cello tape to reinforce it, but the rear could use strenthening. The pages are board, in very good condition. No writing anywhere. Every page is illustrated. The story is about two children who go to the forest to find the castle of the Magic Cricket. If they touch the cricket they get to make a wish. Of course they do, and we get to go with them. This book is scarce. Overall condition is Good+ All my books are as described.
