A FEW FOOLISH ONES
By Gladys Hasty Carroll First edition, first printing. Contains publisher's statement "Published April 1935" to the copyright page and the date "1935" printed to the title page. The Pulitzer Prize nominated author of AS THE EARTH TURNS wrote extensively about Maine, it's inhabitants, and family farm life. This, now classic piece of Americana offers a social view of a rural village in Southern Maine from 1870 through 1930, and features the hard-working Bragdon family among other families with various attitudes that come and go during two war-times, the gold rush, prosperity, depression, and progress--railroads, automobiles, and trolleys. Fine and fresh in mauve linen with black-and-white wood-cut illustration by Peers to the front cover and with black embossed titles to the spine, upper page edges slate-black; in a very good dust jacket with slight dust soiling and a one-inch long narrow snag-chip to the rear panel, tiny nicks and rubs to the upper and lower spine edges and corner tips; original $2.50 printed price still intact to the front inner flap. A well-preserved vintage collectible. Octavo; 384 pages. FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA PLEASE VIEW FOR MORE GREAT FIRST EDITION BOOKS THANKS!! |
