Fantasy Children’s Books Young Adult

1970s Illustrated Books A Book Made For The Young Gryphon Books Christian Waller

The Gates Of Dawn by Christian Waller opens a rare portal between Art & Culture and classic fantasy for children and young adults. This 1978 first-edition picture book from Gryphon Books pairs luminous illustrations with a spare, poetic text that feels equally at home in a collector’s cabinet or a child’s bedtime ritual.

Only 1,000 copies of this vintage limited edition were produced; the volume you’ll receive is one of them, protected by its original dust jacket and showing only light shelf wear. Every page remains crisp and tightly bound, the colors as vivid as when the Golden Arrow Press first released Waller’s vision nearly half a century ago.

Ideal for readers aged 4–8, young adults rediscovering 1970s illustration, or adults curating a boutique fantasy shelf, The Gates Of Dawn delivers a tactile, analog experience no modern reprint can match. Add this scarce, well-preserved title to your collection before the next sunrise.
