Why Should Penguins Fly? 1936 Dwight Fiske Illustrated WYNN risque thorne Smith

Description: A very curious collection of short storys told in a sort of experimental verse with very odd punctuation. Feels immediately like something that would be happening in the background of a thorne smith novel. Illustrated by WYNN, in a gay and inebriated reverie and a careful line (again) very reminiscent of Herbert Roese the long time collaborator of Smith. Condition: G+/VG- in a G+/VG- DJ. Orange boards with silver type, have soiling and wear around the edges. Textblock is square. Binding is good. Cute inscription on flyleaf to original owner, in an elegant hand. Jacket has several chips, with flaking around the edges, a small water stain on the verso, and darkening around the edges of the front panel. An uncommon book, very rarely found with its jacket. please see photos all questions welcome
