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 The first, a foreword by Clement Hurd's son, author and illustrator Thacher Hurd, includes previously unpublished photographs and sheds light on a creative family life in Vermont, where his father and mother, author Edith Thacher Hurd, often collaborated on children's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.… (altro)

In the Editor's Preface, Jonathan Cott recommends reading this short gem out loud so the reader can feel and hear the childish and circular flow of Gertrude Stein's Rose. I tried to do this, but found it incredibly difficult to do so because of the aforementioned childish circular flow of the words... but had I not tried, I would have missed having a much purer understanding of the depth of this book. It's so simple and yet deep, leaving you curious and sometimes bored, and I think it made me feel like a child again. Rose [is a Rose is a Rose] is young, contemplative, sad [happy?], but nevertheless, a child. Sometimes it's nice, as an adult, to stop for a short period of time and remember what it was like to be a child for all the good, the bad, and the confusing. ( )

Charming, lilting story of Rose and her cousin Willie. Willie owns a lion named Billie. Rose climbs a mountain with a blue chair. Both sing their way through life.

Once upon a time the world was round and you could go on it around and around.

Eveywhere there was somewhere and everywhere there they were men women children dogs cows wild pigs little rabbits cats lizards and animals. That is the way it was. And everybody dogs cats sheep rabbits and lizards and children all wanted to tell everybody all about it and they wanted to tell all about themselves.

And then there was Rose.

Rose was her name and would she have been Rose if her name had not been Rose. She used to think and then she used to think again.

The boy loved the wordplay and rhythm of this "children's" book by Ms. Stein, which actually is a pretty sweet story. Plus, now he's totally on board with walking around with me to see her haunts in Paris in a few weeks. ( )
