Description: 9 Magic Wishes by Shirley Jackson. 1963 First edition. Illustrated by Lorraine Fox. A fine, bright copy, issued without dust jacket. Jackson's first children's book. A particularly attractive like-new copy of a title which is becoming increasingly elusive. Text block is clean, crisp and very tight, appears unread. Small date written on top of inner front cover. Shirley Jackson (1916–65) was a master of the short story ― as her classic of the genre, "The Lottery," attests. A recipient of the Edgar Allan Poe and O. Henry awards for short stories, she is the namesake of the Shirley Jackson Awards, presented in recognition for outstanding achievement in the literature of psychological suspense. Lorraine Fox (1922–76), a prominent American illustrator of magazines and books, as well as a painter, was honored with a Gold Medal Award from the Society of Illustrators.
