FIRST EDITION of this rare collaboration between two of the most important, and tragic figures of Russian children's literature. In 1931 Kharms was arrested as a member of an alleged anti-Soviet group of children's writers; he was re-arrested in 1941 and died the following year, incarcerated in the psychiatric ward of Leningrad Prison 1. Ermolaeva, avant-garde artist, founder of the Segodnia collective, and co-founder of Unovis with Kazimir Malevich, was executed in 1937. WorldCat locates one copy in the USA, at the University of Pennsylvania; Copac locates none in the UK. ABPC records no copy selling at auction in over 35 years. Not in the Rats Collection.
