Description
"Jimmy Stewart and His Poems" by Jimmy Stewart, illustrated with two-color drawings by Cheryl Gross, published by Crown Publishers, New York, 1989. First edition, First Printing.
Dust jacket with un-clipped price on the front flap; hard boards, original purple cloth with a metallic blue facsimile signature of Jimmy Stewart on front board and metallic blue lettering on spine; 6.1/4" x 8.1/4"; marbled endpapers, 32 pages, very good/ fine condition.
Includes a Preliminary Page Introduction by Jimmy Stewart. "I'm sure I never said to myself: "Now, Jim - why don't you sit down and write a poem. It's still a mystery to me, but I think probably it's something that happened by accident - like a lot of things have happened in my life".
So begins this delightful collection of poetry by America's best loved actor, Jimmy Stewart. Interspersed with vivid recollections and charming illustrations, the poems document a life that isn't too different from yours or mine. Jimmy Stewart won the hearts of generations of movie viewers with a confused innocence and stammering delivery that made his acting seem genuine and effortless. Somehow he managed to make the boy next door into a national hero. Now, in Jimmy Stewart and His Poems, the consummate Everyman shares tales from his everyday life.
From fishing trips and dog stories to a hilarious account of a photo safari where the camera was lost to a hungry hyena, the poems are related in Jimmy Stewart's inimitable voice and are enlivened with charming illustrations. The book confirms what we all expected - that the real Jimmy Stewart is every bit as endearing as the film characters he's portrayed. Jimmy Stewart and His Poems is a perfect gift, one that fans will treasure as much as Jimmy Stewart's timeless performances." [from the inner front and rear jacket flaps]
James Maitland "Jimmy" Stewart [1908-1997] was an American actor and military officer. Known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona, Stewart's film career spanned 80 films from 1935 to 1991.
