Description: 50th Anniversary Sale!!!August 7th marks the 50th anniversary of the artistic crime of the century! It was August of 1974 when an impish young Fenchman strung a cable between the towers of the World Trade Center and then, improbably enough, danced on the high wire for 45 minutes... to the decidedly unamused consternation of New York's Finest. The Man Who Walked Between the Towers is a masterpiece created by Mordicai Gerstein to commemorate this feat after the towers had been lost. Unsurprisingly, it won the Caldecott Award for the best picturebook of the year in 2004. This later printing edition has been signed in person by Philippe directly to the page across from the title page and is not personalized to anyone. Condition is as new, a beautiful book. Philippe's little adventure has spawned a blockbuster motion picture (The Walk) and an Oscar-winning documentary (Man on Wire). But for me, Mordicai's masterpiece will always remain the definitive account. Delightful bedtime reading for your little ones!
