Displaying the wit and marvelous drawings that made Shel Silverstein one of the most beloved artists of the century, "Playboy's Silverstein Around the World" collects and reproduces the twenty-three travel pieces Silverstein created for "Playboy" between 1957 and 1968. While children and adults alike know Shel Silverstein for his classic books "The Giving Tree, A Light in the Attic," and "Where the Sidewalk Ends," they may be less aware that Silverstein also created a dazzling series of illustrated comic travelogues published by Hugh M. Hefner in "Playboy." "Playboy's Silverstein Around the World" not only reproduces these fascinating articles in facsimile form, it also provides an introduction with never-before-seen photos and drawings and rare, illuminating biographical detail.
