About this Item

**AMAZING ASSOCIATION COPY INSCRIBED BY PULITZER PRIZE WINNER EMORY HOLLOWAY TO HIS DAUGHTER RITA FOR WHOM THE BOOK IS DEDICATED. INCREDIBLY RARE BOOK WITH GREAT 1930's ILLUSTRATIONS!!** Janice In Tomorrow-Land by Emory Holloway. American Book Company, 1936, New York. FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING. INSCRIBED on the front free end paper: "DEAR RITA, THE FIRST COPY GOES TO YOU, FOR WITHOUT YOU THIS LITTLE YARN WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN WRITTEN. DAD. APRIL 28, 1936" Emory Holloway (1885 -1977) was best known for books and studies of Walt Whitman. His work, Whitman: An Interpretation in Narrative (1926) was the first biography of a literary figure to win the Pulitzer Prize for Biography or Autobiography in 1927. I recently attended an Estate Sale of Holloway's daughter, Rita Tybout and purchased several of his books which will soon be listed on ABE. This is an incredibly rare and very interesting book with wonderful 1930's illustrations. The book has been described by The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction as ".which carries a version of Lewis Carroll's Alice figure into a modernistic Near Future, which she finds moderately bewildering." The book is in VERY GOOD condition. Slight fraying of spine ends and darkening of spine otherwise book and contents are incredibly bright and brilliant! Of course this association copy is ONE OF A KIND being inscribed to his daughter and the motivation for the creation of the book!
