Portrait Of Jennie by Nathan Robert (33 items)

Solid binding but slightly rolled. Clean interiors free of writing. Interior pages are age tanned. Mark inside front and back cover where tape was removed. Light shelf wear to edges. 125 pages. 7" X 4.25" Eben Adams is a young painter in Depression-era New York just looking to make a living. His work has thus far left influential art dealers unimpressed. Then Eben happens upon a young schoolgirl named Jennie in Central Park. Intrigued by her mystical quality and her knowledge of things that happened well before her time, Eben begins to sketch a portrait of the young girl. The drawing turns out to be the most emotional piece Eben has ever done, and he finally gets the boost in his career he's been seeking. But before he can finish the portrait, Jennie vanishes.

This book shows some wear, with a crease across the lower front corner, a spine that is slightly skewed and a small water stain at the bottom of the spine, which does not impact the book's readability. The binding had failed with some loose pages, but now they are glued back in and everything is clean and tight. The previous owner's name can be found inside the front and rear covers. Originally published in 1940 and made into a movie in 1948. A quite scarce book.
