Bound in dark brown cloth over board with spine and upper board titled in silver, light brown endpapers. A few light scuffs to cloth and a hint of browning to textblock, otherwise clean and sound.
This unusual item is E. E. Cummings' vision of Uncle Tom's Cabin as a ballet, suggested--according to the dedication--by Marion Morehouse, his longtime companion. The ballet has never been performed.
