About this Item

[Rare British Publication] - Thelma L. Strabel (19 December 1900 to 28 May 1959) was an American novelist who specialized in tales of the American South and sea adventures. - Her best known story, Reap the Wild Wind, is a romantic saga of the wreckers in and around Key West, Florida. - This book was published before Cecil B DeMille bought the novel and, with numerous alterations, produced a popular movie version starring Paulette Goddard and John Wayne in 1942. - Strabel was so enamored of Key West and its unique history that she built a house there following the sale of the story to The Saturday Evening Post in 1940. - The house, located at 400 South Street, was described by Strabel, not without argument, as the southernmost house in the United States. - CONDITION: The beautifully vibrant original dustjacket accompanies this book.
