The Mysteries of Harris Burdick (signed & dated by the author)

Caldecott Medal-winning author of Jumanji and The Polar Express Chris Van Allsburg alleges that he discovered the illustrations in this book and their accompanying captions—the work of an artist gone missing—while visiting a friend. Each enigmatic image and caption suggests an entire novel yet to be written. (In fact, this book inspired The Chronicles of Harris Burdick, a collection of short stories with an all-star cast of authors, 25 years later.) Signed and dated (2011) by Van Allsburg on the title page. New, in dustjacket. [YA3]
