Mary McNeer and her husband, the legendary Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Lynd Ward, collaborated on numerous celebrated children's books throughout the mid-20th century. Published in 1967, The Wolf of Lambs Lane tells a humorous and heartwarming story about a giant, independent dog mistaken for a wild predator in a suburban neighborhood. Strikingly bound in a slate blue textured cloth with a crisp black woodcut-style wolf emblem on the cover, this clean 64-page volume serves as a wonderful addition to a collector's shelf of iconic mid-century illustration or retro children's fiction.
