MacMillan, Miriam:
KUDLA AND HIS POLAR BEAR- Inscribed
New York: Dodd Mead, 1953. First edition. Illustrated by Cleveland Woodward.
From the inside front flap- "How this small bear became the companion and friend of Kudla with his little dog, Ipah, is a story that will make you think you are an Eskimo boy yourself. And it is all very close to being true, because Miriam MacMillan, who wrote the story, is the wife of the great arctic explorer, Commander David MacMillan."
Inscribed by the author & her husband, Arctic expolorer David MacMillan, to Julio Caesare Herrera & Russell Pease. Written on the last free endpaper is this note- From Richard Cory, Friend of "cappy" peases, friend of Julios's granfather, friend of Miriam's, friend of Cap'n Mac's (Admiral MacMillan)."
Laid in is a note that reads "On one four-year expedition, Admiral MacMillan, the famed arctic explorer, discovered near the North Pole an amazingly strange creature, which scientists have since given the name of "Oh-That-Birdie!"" Also laid in is a note that reads "Richard was a friend of this little fellows granddfather who went to Cornell when R. was there. He was afterwards President of Ecuador as was his father before him. The MacMillans were personal friends of Richard's. R's friend died and his family moved away- couldn't be located so Richard had an extra copy."
