About This Item
New York: Harcourt Brace. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1955. First Edition. Hardcover in jacket. Stated First Edition bound in green and blue patterned paper covered boards, with a silver stamped green cloth spine, in a dust jacket with light soiling/toning, and light edge-wear. The covers show light wear to the edges and corners. The binding is solid and contents are bright and clean. From the American First Editions collection of Donald C. Scriven (1948-2019). Don relished points of issue and the primacy of the dust jacket but above all he loved the literature! .
Synopsis
This collection combines stories set in Welty's special province, the rural South, with stories having a European locale. This gives a wider range to her fiction and demonstrates the remarkable talent of one of the finest short-story writers of our time. "Humorous, piquant, graceful" (Louis D. Rubin, Jr., Sewanee Review).
