Dustjacket is price-clipped - protected in a Mylar sleeve. ; Both book and dustjacket are in pristine condition - would make a wonderful gift. The noted Maine author "provides a gallery of characters as varied as they are prickly and real." Scarce copy in this condition. "Ruth Moore (1903–1989) was an important Maine author of the twentieth century. She is best known for her honest portrayals of Maine people and evocative descriptions of the state. Now primarily thought of as a regional writer, Moore was a significant literary figure on the national stage during her career. Her second novel Spoonhandle spent fourteen weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in the company of George Orwell, W. Somerset Maugham and Robert Penn Warren. In her time, Moore was hailed as 'New England's only answer to Faulkner'." [Goodreads]; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 407 pages.
