Here are two books by Nura (b. Nora) Woodson Ulreich, AKA Nura:
The Kitten Who Listened. First printing copy from 1950. Nura (Nura Woodson Ulreich) was an artist and children's book author and illustrator (also textilist and muralist) whose career was hampered by the Great Depression then sadly curtailed by her early death in 1950, just as it was about to really take off. This title is the last of her eight children's books, three of them self-published. Nura's work is intriguing and whimsical and her books original. This copy is Near Fine: clean, tight, no previous owner name or marks, pages fresh and unhandled. Light toning. Dust jacket has toning and a little wear. $150
The Mitty Children Fix Things. First printing copy from 1946. This title is one of Nura’s later books, published by American Studio Books (three of Nura's books were self-published). This copy is Near Fine: clean, tight, no previous owner name or marks, pages fresh and unhandled. Light toning. Dust jacket has toning and light wear. The Mitty children--Jimmy, Janie, Jill, John, and Jenifer--come up with an unusual and funny plan to prevent Mother's hairpins from falling out so Cousin Arabella won't leave and the family pocketbook won't go flat! Lovely full-color artwork. Warmly inscribed and SIGNED on the free front endpaper by Nura; no writing or marks by anyone else. LAID IN is a miniature print by Nura's husband, the artist Eduard Buk Ulreich.
