Published to commemorate its 75th anniversary, The World
Is Round brings back into print the classic story
created by Gertrude Stein and Clement Hurd. Written in
her unique prose style, Gertrude Stein's The World Is
Round chronicles the adventures of a young girl named
Rose—a whimsical tale that delights in wordplay and sound
while exploring the ideas of personal identity and
individuality. This stunning volume replicates the original
1939 edition to a T, including all of Clement Hurd's
original blue-and-white art printed on the rose-pink paper
that Stein insisted upon. Also featured here are two essays
that provide an inside view to the making of the book. The
first, a foreword by Clement Hurd's son, author and
illustrator Thacher Hurd, includes previously unpublished
photographs and sheds light on a creative family life in
Vermont, where his father and mother, author Edith Thacher
Hurd, often collaborated on children's books. The second
essay, an afterword by Edith Thacher Hurd, takes readers
behind the scenes of the making of The World Is
Round, including the numerous letters exchanged between
Hurd and Stein as well as images of Stein with the real-life
Rose and her white poodle, Love.
