Sought-after pairing of a handwritten poem and original sketches by Shel Silverstein, individually accomplished in black felt tip on off-white 8.5 x 13.25 notebook sheets, both of which are inscribed to “Raquel” and signed “with love Shel Silverstein.” The first sketch depicts a hand emerging from a stone well topped with a large bell, with its accompanying poem reading: “Raquel fell, Down the well, How far she fell, No one can tell, No one heard her yell, So she rang the bell, And that’s as much as I can spell.” The second sketch shows a forearm with hand carefully holding a rose by its stem, and reads below: “A Flower—for Raquel.” In overall fine condition.
