Celebrating its 75th anniversary, The World Is Round features the timeless story crafted by Gertrude Stein and illustrated by Clement Hurd. This enchanting narrative follows a young girl named Rose, blending whimsical wordplay with themes of personal identity. The beautifully reproduced original 1939 edition includes all of Hurd's iconic blue-and-white illustrations on the signature rose-pink paper, along with two insightful essays that delve into the book's creation. One essay is by Thacher Hurd, sharing family anecdotes and photographs, while the other, by Edith Thacher Hurd, explores the correspondence between Stein and Hurd during the book's development.
